Wages can be risen with an increased demand for workers. How? That is the relevant question that leads to the right answers. Minimum wage is a distraction.
I wrote mental capacity because stress, irregular schedules, two jobs and all the other stuff drain energy and trap even clever people. Intelligence is only part of the problem.
My point is that they are not stupid but helpless. Usually I argue that there shouldn't be minimum wage and that people have to organize to earn more, but I can see that it makes sense for that group.
Still, as we can see, relying on others is not sustainable. Minimum wage workers have to find a way to rise their wages on their own.
I agree, for the way our societies are structured.
My point is that we could organize us in a way that history could provide additional depth but that the essential decisions could be made as well without the knowlege of history.
Does it matter? History only matters if actions in the now are justified by interpretations of the past.
Thanks to the internet, we have instant access to the experience of billions of people. All human experience is already there and doesn't have to be approximated by history.
It's an analysis, not a solution. Where is the contempt? You can tell me where I am wrong but I haven't said anything about how anybody should be treated.
Please don't ignore my second paragraph.
