  Charity requires donations. The ai thing kind of kills that when fewer people can donate. That's why many are discussing UBI as the only real solution brought up so far. I don't mean to speak down to the good deeds citizens to to help other citizens. Charity is necessary but it isn't enough now and I heavily doubt it'll get better down the road.

  Liveable wage please >
  
  How do you legislate that? I want it too but if minimum wage went up to $20 inflation would just erase most of it immediately. 
  We need actual plans that could work, not just "calling for" things. >
  
  The inflation mythos surrounding minimum wage increases: If that were true, the system is already broken, and we need to accept inflation as part of fixing things. >

  Higher please >
  
  It should be pegged to productivity. I’m sure it would be higher than $20 in that case. >
  
  A federal minimum wage is stupid. $17 may not be enough in NYC and may be too much in Little Rock >
  
  Egh...did you see the last election in Arkansas, didn't they just elect a extremely far right guy to the senate?  $17 an hour jobs with little rock housing costs might attract some young, educated people the area desperately needs. >
  
  Educated people don't earn minimum wage.  That's an articifial minimum for people who need charity because they have no marketable skills >
  
  Man, I was with you until the whole charity thing. 
  Unskilled workers still work hard and provide a service. If they didn't, businesses would simply not hire them. 
  This is just some bigoted bullshit hating on poor people. Damn. >
  
  Of course some do work hard, some dont.  A business will ordinarily pay them prevailing wage; whatever it would cost to replace them.  If you institute minimum wage.  That's charity.
  There's nothing wrong with charity. It's quite likely more people will require that as AI becomes widespread.
