...you have to work for it, or be prepared to accept mediocrity.

Exactly - and if a society is at a point where you do not even get to mediocrity with a full time job, you need a solution for that.

So - any ideas except minimum wages? Or do you prefer to continue with rants and insults?

But those on that wage level won't have lost anything either.

And I think a minimum wage wouldn't have a major influence on inflation.

One problem today is the loss of jobs due to more and more automation and outsourcing of manual labor.
Naturally this causes a drop of wages in certain professions because of less demand.
My opinion is that a society shouldn't allow wages to drop below a level where you can't make a living by a full time job.

Not because I'm so good at heart but because of all the related problems with poverty and crime that come with those low wages.

So - minimum wages seem to be a good idea to me - but I'm always open for better solutions.

But of course he completely misses the irony that he and the rest of the North Korean elite were enjoying a newly build *ski resort* (quite literally "trampling" the workers in the process) while a significant portion of the population is near-starving, and any citizen who points that fact out is sent to a forced labor camp.

Patience. Western elites are working on evening out the situation.
