"Inclusion?"


"How many are the people who earnestly call for modern society to encourage greater 'inclusion,' yet who also support minimum-wage legislation? I suspect that the number of such people is large.
    "These people obviously miss what should be, but apparently isn’t, obvious – namely, by criminalising the ability of low-skilled workers to compete for employment by offering to work at wages below the legislated minimum, minimum-wage legislation is the opposite of 'inclusive.' Such legislation excludes from the above-ground job market workers with the lowest skills."

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
