Yeah... J.O.B. (Just Over Broke) mentality only gets you so far... and for those who want government regulated wage increases... all they are really doing is making everything more expensive while motivating the corporations to innovation, replace, reduce, and simplify their products, services and business models. The employer will always say that the employee is an asset... But in reality and employee is a liability that needs to be closely managed. That's why the trend is not to do more with more... it is to do more with less...
The sooner people realize this the sooner they will realize that there is no security in demanding higher wages at your work place... That's a sure way to become marginalized... So I agree. It's better to find another thing that you can do to add value... Something like Steemit!
