Not if they use that money to subsidise American EV's.
I'm annoyed by the caps but you had me at the first paragraph
All good, unsure why people down voted you when you asked so politely. If there is anything else let me know.
Only I think they're already opening factories in Mexico. Which again isn't a terrible situation either.
Yea so that's the argument that people who don't agree with making a liveable wage give. In reality there is just a great group of people who are only eligible for minimum wage or close to minimum wage jobs. So a fair bit of adults that are even trying to support their children.
So I think we can all agree that especially if 2 parents are working 40 hours a week should be able to at least live a decent life in a Western country. And that's mainly in to question here. For teens you could always have a lower minimum wage until they're older. As they have in plenty countries.
Does this address your question properly?
I get your frustration but you can't solve one extreme/problem by another. That just creates different problems. And I believe you're smart enough to realise what problems that would be. But yea, affordability is definitely a problem that needs to be solved. Getting exploited is never good. Sadly that rich people problem is present in more countries, including China. (not talking about the size of the problem, that is a point of argument of course)
The thing is, that is the short term benefit. The long term effect could be is that we be dependent on the exporting party and they can start charging higher prices. Generally it is not in your favour to be dependent on another party.
Because Trump doesn't want to give any win to the democrats. I wish there was truly more to it. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/republicans-kill-border-bill-sign-trumps-strength-mcconnells-waning-in-rcna137477
That's a very good point, I never thought about that.
And the potential added problem is that once tipping becomes a large part of their salary they will just decrease their salary and say just to get tipped more. I don't believe any outcome in this is a win for gamers or devs.
Though that is fruit for thought I can not find any information to back op that claim. I did however found articles about them defending remote working. It's a bit too easy to me to throw out claims such as this without backing it up with facts. But if you do have any other examples I would love to read them.
