... do you want? I mean, min. wage was supposed to be enough for a single wage-earner to support his family, back when it was introduced---so, I dunno, VanCity says the "living wage" is $20/hour for 2 parents working full time with two kids.

So, are we going to have a min. wage of $40/hour?

People would laugh at this, but I remember my first independent tech job, as a contractor, way back in like 2000. I was going to charge $30/hour, which I thought was _tons of money_. The guy mentoring me, really I was his subcontractor, just laughed and said he'd give me $80/hour, because he was billing $120/hour for the work, _in 2000_. And this wasn't even complicated work, it was typical windows business software bullshit.

The whole purpose to labor law was to ensure that every worker would be able to have a family, time to enjoy life, etc. Today labor law like the "minimum wage," well, it's not even enough to have an indoor pot to piss in, in Vancouver.

Don't worry, you'll soon be replaced by AI or robots in the future. Then you'll have all the free time in the world.
