How would you feel if it were illegal for you to earn more than minimum wage unless ...

[Boojatta]

you worked for the government, owned your own non-profit organization, or worked for an organization that required and received explicit permission from the government to pay you more than minimum wage?

1. What's the point of this hypothetical? n/t

[Boojatta]

3. Given links to three GD threads, will you tell me, for each of the 3, what its point is or was?

[TahitiNut]

2. Why do I hear the sound ...

... of an ax on a grindstone??

:dunce:

[Boojatta]

4. Probably one of the following reasons: metaphor, auditory hallucination,

or neighbor who has a blade that needs sharpening.

[dysfunctional press]

5. in that system- why would the owner of a non-profit be allowed to pay themselves a higher salary?

:shrug: -it doesn't make sense.

[Boojatta]

6. Does every law make sense to you?

[dysfunctional press]

8. no- but the people who put them in place can usually explain why...

so...why?

[Boojatta]

10. Do you think that the official reasons given are always the real reasons?

[dysfunctional press]

12. that depends on the situation and the reasons given.

what are the reasons you're giving for it?

[dysfunctional press]

7. one more question- does the "you" apply just to me, or to everyone...?

because if i was the only one who had those kinds of restrictions- it would suck balls.

if it applied to everyone, it would be cool- as long as the minimum wage was over $25/hr.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

9. What is the minimum wage of this hypothetical nation?

[Boojatta]

11. You mean in US dollars at the current exchange rate?

I've got no idea. However, it could be millions of whatever they're using in Zimbabwe.

13. This poll makes no sense.

[dysfunctional press]

14. that seems to be the general concensus...

but that's ok- there's another thread with an equally idiotic poll question, so it's not alone.

[Boojatta]

15. Another thread? DU must have a lot of threads if two of them are idiotic.

[dysfunctional press]

16. It seems obvious that it would suck - but what's the point?
