This is unfair, think about it. Where will the money for base wage come from? People's taxes? so if you lessen the amount of people working then wouldn't that lead to less tax money for the government? and also what about the people who are paying their taxes and working their asses off, then here comes the government giving away their hard earned money to lazy people. Not only will the government be bankrupt people will riot as well.
Also another significant problem is that we have a Minimum Basic wage law which is very good on paper but in reality there are people who abuse this law and still give below minimum wage to manual laborers. This is the sad thing that people are doing, making money out of people's misery. Hopefully laws will have more teeth in the few years to come as I believe our generation will overturn these infuriating circumstances our country is in.
