    The only issue I have with that last suggestion is that contracts can blur the line between being employed at a company and not. For example, obviously a contract employee should be subject to the same level of minimum wage, but what about if a company hires another company? What stops some big tech company from just getting all of their janitors from a contract with a janitorial company that doesn’t have to pay their people nearly as much? I think that windfall taxes on the 0.1% and a big UBI are the way forward.

      It’s okay. We don’t have to think about this in the USA because leftists wanted to teach democrats a lesson on Gaza*

      *Gaza will be destroyed in its entirety over the coming years.
