    Having neither, it’s the same as the saying about liberty and security. If you don’t seek employment for all then you won’t get minimum wage.

    Let the people decide what a livable wage is. A bad job is better than no job. They can still refuse to work.

    Of course, without new ideas, things don’t change. Not the workers but the companies need a reason for full employment.

      The people have a gun to their head. If they’re not eligible for unemployment because a $3/hour job is available, they’ll take it not to starve to death. That doesn’t make it a free or advantageous choice.
