Even if you pulled in $1800 before taxes that is somewhat better than $600 which is what you might qualify for if you are out of work. Oddly enough government run places make these ones chase non-existent work just so those people don't become unemployed themselves.
Rent and utilities and groceries, poof all gone.

You're getting a raise..
Permanent unemployment should qualify you to a comfortable suicide, at your discretion rather than the State.

No worries. If prices go up, we can just keep raising the minimum wage. If the Weimar Republic could do it, why can't we? :)
That would mean we might have to put a cap of 2,000% on inflation then. More government control might not be the best move at that stage,

Not bad enough you eliminated it from your post. I wonder if there is an imprint when she gets up?? Does it make a sucking sound as he is peeled away??

Okay, granted the Weimar Republic collapsed too; but it was fun while it lasted.

Who would work for 0.00? Clearly a business would need to provide at least some money before a person was willing to work; and if another business could outbid him for the same worker, then the business might need to compete for that worker. It's called supply and demand.

then tip them something other then left over bubblegum once in a while



What's wiener done in public now?

Not wiener, Weimar... you know, the German republic established after WWI and collapsed because it thought it could just print its way to prosperity?
