Though dark matter seems to be the favored model today, this is not totally out of the window.

When I read something that makes me think political correctnes is going too far, I watch a few Jimmy Carr clips.

I feel much better afterwards. ;)

ok - comments can be closed I think.

There should be no more to say here.

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.

Errrm. no .. that was the object in football.
In politics it is to get someone in charge who is trustworthy.
