so i'm back from the store walking to my apartment, over a hundred units in the complex - all jws and ex-jws - and i see someone talking to an ex-jw neighbor of mine.
she turns around and says "now there's some else i have to apologize to".. she identified herself as an old neighbor who used to play as a jw child right by my place.
she had told me how she was raised to consider me and all the ex-jws in the apartment complex as evil and thought she had to apologize for that.. made my day.
Wasanelder Once: It sounds like a crazy place to live!
They ignore me and I ignore them.
I'm friends with a couple of disfellowshipped neighbors and an ex-CO who is still in - mentally out - provides me with all the juicy gossip about those neighbors still in JWdom.

Slimboyfat: "I'm trying to picture what sort of place this is. Is it in America?"
Yeap. 120+ apartments spread over 11 acres with front and rear lawns for most of them. Almost like a village.
during the gop debates donald trump said that american’s “wages [are] too high” and later said “that having a low minimum wage is not a bad thing for this country” (7:25)..
do you agree and if so why?.
my two cents on this issue; do the math.

These laws are in fact beneficial to those workers who continue to be employed—those who are on the inside looking out, but at the expense of the unemployed who are on the outside looking in."
That could be used to rationalize no minimum wage the result of which being that the unemployed may be employed while living out of his car (if any).
I come back to the following thought: Isn't using minimum wage to ensure a specific lifestyle a form of social engineering? Is social engineering a good idea?
Equating it with a loaded phrase like "social engineering" is an attempt to thwart the necessity of having enough money to sustain you. I've been talking about basic rent and food.

Just for interest, five countries with no enforced minimum wage, instead relying on collective bargaining:
Which is considered to be a Socialistic way of doing things.

Saintbertholdt: You seem to think the market is not a natural force.
Floods are a natural force that's why cities are designed with drainage and flood control channels.
As for your pencil analogy you have left out the cost of employing the producer which takes us right back to the issue.

Village Idiot:
In the retail establishments where I have worked people have been forced to work "off the clock" (free labor for the company) Why should anyone have to wait until it gets worse?
Saintbertholdt:
I don't know. Shouldn't market forces perhaps correct it?
And how would such a mystical force do any correcting? You already have laws against it yet places like Home Depot continue to practice it in spite of more than one class action suit. To them it's simply part of the expense of doing business and they profit from that stolen labor in spite of token penalties.

"Yeah sort of exactly: If injustice is rampant in labor, human beings will organize to counter it."
Injustice is rampant in labor and if there are no unions it's because union organizing has been squashed by the Walmarts and Kmarts of this nation. Workers who try to organize for labor in those establishments get blacklisted and booted by their employers.
