Comment on Trump just made It OK to continue paying disabled workers peanuts
AA5B@lemmy.world 1 week agoTechnically true here as well. There are both federal and state incentives, so I might have fallen for their reasoning too: it makes sense to protect those job opportunities
However:
- those government subsidies are tax incentives, so don’t help the charities that probably account for most jobs
- state incentives are of course up to the state, meaning some are non-existent
- it ever actually says how much
However some key points of the story are evidence that removing the subminimum wage does not reduce employment opportunities: reality trumps feelings. I know the highlighted stories were picked for outrage but it surely outrages me just how poorly some of these people are paid.
It’s all in the details and apparently our details are inhumane
