I honestly think it would be a good thing if a burger flipper could afford to live on 40 hours of burger flipping a week.
I want a high schooler to be able to work a summer job and buy a car. I want someone working an unskilled job to be able to afford a solo apartment or comfortable afford a bachelor apartment with roommates and either use it as a stepping stone to something else, or literally just be a burger flipper forever. Some people have less ambition and that needs to be accounted for.
If that results in 60% of fast food restaurants closing, so be it. Every street corner does not need 3 major fast food chains chosen like a mad lib. People aren’t going to starve without fast food, they’re going to cook more.
If we deport everyone that shouldn’t be here and tariff foreign labor out of reasonability then this is a possible future.
