- Comment on Economics: The Family Wage 1 year ago:
Yeah I often see people discussing minimum wages and living wages, this was a different concept I stumbled upon for people to think about, which makes sense for society to consider because if workers have families they’re not simply trying to earn a “living wage” (enough for them) but also enough for kids and/or spouse, etc.
family wage: enough to support a whole family by one breadwinner (traditionally thought of as an individual male; even with dual breadwinners you could still have an idea of how much a “family wage” would be that pays for the costs of the whole family)
living wage: enough to support an individual
minimum legal wage: legally allowed minimum to pay per hour (I don’t know how common it has been for a minimum wage to be enough to raise a family)

handicapped spots
if they’re not being used, maybe they don’t need to exist?
I’ve seen people say it’s kind of weird people want the “handicapped” to be both treated equally and have special parking spots?

- Comment on There's a steep decline in pay compared to the value workers add to the economy, closely tracking the fall in union membership. 1 year ago:
union membership has declined just because they were bad
kind of, they can be coercive and also can be taken over and not represent what people want, and also haven’t certain laws neutralized them a bit?
I mean some alternatives that come to mind are people just switch jobs, or create businesses I guess
People could organize without it having to be a “union”, and I guess some have

- Comment on What's the difference between communism and socialism? 1 year ago:
in my understanding, relying on wiki for definitions:
communism is stateless moneyless propertyless religionless classless society where there is the common ownership or non-ownership of the means of production
socialism in theory wants to prioritize the value of labor and seeks to have the common social democratic ownership of the means of production
