It serms incredible to me to give over a billion dollars to a random person.

    Tell that to folks having to work three jobs to provide for their family. The concept of the minimum wage was to provide enough wages for people to support their families (on a single income no less) with a forty hour work week. Now, there isn’t a single state where you can afford an average apartment on a minimum wage job. Saying ‘youre paid what you’re worth’ is just a fancy way of saying some people don’t deserve essentials in a post scarcity society.

    But yeah, we can just let kids work to add a third income to the household. That’ll solve it.
