@hansw@mastodon.social Not in the least. i never said people who are underskilled should take the underpaid jobs... Obviously what they **should** do is take the offer of free education i mentioned, become highly skilled (and get enough welfare to live well why they do it) and then take a high paid job.. no one is requried in the system i described to take a low paid job, thats not accurate at all.

what it does mean, however, is that if someone **wants** to be lazy, do a minimal effort job that takes no skill, is perfectly capable of learning a skill and can learn one for free but simply refuses to do it out of laziness, then that person at least has an option to get a low paid job if thats what they WANT, but there are other options for them.

Moreover, as we covered, when most of the people gain skills and move to high-skilled work that means there is a much smaller pool of people willing to do menial labor, that means supply demand curve **raises** their wage (as there is now higher competition to hire them) and in turn they dont make a menial wage.

Effectively my solution allows for the lowest wage to increase naturally and fairly without the consequence of everyone loosing their job.. the minimum wage solution just artificially attempts to inflate the minimum wage without effecting the supply-demand curve and the consequence of which is all the people who need jobs the most loose them.
