Re: Bitcointalk with a socialist instead of an ancap in charge.
We have a federal minimum wage in America of $7.25 it's been there for over a decade and while I don't agree with having one:
since we do, it should be tethered to some livable wage based in reality.
But to me this part seems a contradiction, and I don't understand how someone could be against a minimum wage but, if there is one, then in favour of it being raised.since we do, it should be tethered to some livable wage based in reality.
That could be an entire conversation of what I think the limits and responsibilities of governments should be and how we should start utilizing technology to shape policy.
and it's so late here that it's almost time for me to get up
Bill and measures used to be something even I read and comprehend, now they are usually these behemoths of policy convoluted by related and unrelated policies.
A vote to raise the fed. minimum wage failed to pass the senate earlier this year

The way welfare programs were initially implemented had more of an impact on breaking up family units than is usually discussed--- I'll use the B word (bureaucracy) on it.
I'd really like to see UBI replace those programs. And we are entering an age where it is technology possible to implement with advances in technology almost making it an imperative.
We can circle back to Milton Friedman for that---I know I have a YouTube link for that somewhere, I'd have to sift through my 50+ links of him----that friggin guy was brilliant !
