Actually, yes, workers are.
We see that playing out right now.
Workers are absolutely entitled to set their wage, they can simply not take the job. Which is what's happening.

Didn't they have guns?
They will soon, if they don't already. I'll bet their parent(s) won't teach them gun safety.

No, I'm saying the government is overpaying people not to work.
No, the employer determines it. They can set wages according to the profit they want to make and the ability to attract workers.
When the government is your competition, you will lose. The government hates anyone who challenges their monopoly powers.
Those tents are costing taxpayers more than an apartment would in the same city.
Correct, because they're not going to pay their workers more themselves.
Your friend just gave the whole game away when he tied employee wages to the "willingness" of the employer instead of to the labor market.
That's the big OOPSIE y'all made on this thread.
Why don't those business owners just automate with robots? After all, that's what you've been warning about the last 20+ years, only to never see that warning come to fruition.
So where the fuck are all these robots that would take burger flipping jobs, according to you? Weren't those robots like, right around the corner or something?
I bet that if I looked far enough into your posts, I'd find a few scaremongering about the replacement of low wage workers with robots should the MW go to $15/hr.
Well, this pandemic was the big chance to replace workers with robots who can't catch COVID, but that didn't happen.
Then why did you ask?
Get your fuckin' shit together.

Tell that to say workers at British Leyland. Tell that to floundering labor unions that can't get contracts because their wage demands are too high... Workers can demand a certain wage all they want, and employers can fire them or not hire them all day long for not wanting to pay it.
I don't know if any did or didn't, but none of them would have if you hadn't lied about it from Jan-Mar last year.

Yea, but that's just the government competing in the housing market! See what a great job they're doing?
Why would they, unless they are forced to?
Do you pay more than the sticker price for anything because you're worried the seller might be making too little?
There's also a labor market that dictates wages, and right now, that labor market is dictating higher ones.
I thought you loved the market? Do you not anymore?
This is the second overt threat you've made on JPP in the last 24 hours.

Only because the government is paying them more not to work. End that fat unemployment check and see what kind of wage demands they can make...

I see.
Everybody loses if it comes to that.
Did you report it?
Loose Vagina will happily pay higher prices and higher taxes as long as the working poor get more money, won't he?
You did when you said the government was paying people not to work.
They are paid for by employers AND workers.
