A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Who would've thought if you paid ppl they'd actually work

And if they have money they might spend it on things like fast food, that generates a need for more workers. Who'd have thought?!

What really baffles me here is that in essence, what happened is exactly what free market economics would have predicted. If you can't find people for low paying jobs, you increase wages and will get more workers. That's literally economics 101, like, the first or second page in an economics book.
