Fuck your business. If it’s not even equitable to live, get fucked, social contract broken, and I will just take whatever I need from you by force. I’m not gonna lay down and die because of your fucking profit margin.
Can’t tax the Billionaires, they would run away
Can’t implement healthcare for all, it would cost too much
Can’t allow people to unionize, it would hurt business
Can’t regulate banks, the free market knows best
Can’t fix tax loopholes, the rich will just find new ones
…
I could go on. For the every common sense solution there is a lie from the right, why it would not work. Always the same disproven lies, repeated like a mantra.
In workers rights and beyond.

Can’t stop exploiting animals, it’d be bad for the economy
I’m a little more upset that we can’t stop exploiting people.
Even if you believe the life of a human is thousand times more important than the life of a single animal, the scale at which we exploit animals would still be immensely worse. And also this is literally just whataboutism
The post is about labor, you made it about animal welfare. The whataboutism is coming from inside the house.
I was adding to it, not challenging it’s claims.
To be fair, unless you’ve got a fair system to begin with, raising the minimum wage won’t increase purchasing power anyway. Prices just scale up.
That’s why you go one step further and tie minimum wage to inflation/GDP/cost of living. Hardly done anywhere, but I’d wish that happens.
Which study says that?
