It’s So Evil When You Have A Beverage And You Drink It And Then There’s No Beverage Anymore

I honestly don’t understand why there aren’t more people who, when given the platform to discuss minimum wage, don’t simply distill it to the simplest of facts:

A forty hour work week is considered full time.

It’s considered as such because it takes up the amount of time we as a society have agreed should be considered the maximum work schedule required of an employee. (this, of course, does not always bear out practically, but just follow me here)

A person working the maximum amount of time required should earn enough for that labor to be able to survive. Phrased this way, I doubt even most conservatives could effectively argue against it, and out of the mouth of someone verbally deft enough to dance around the pathos-based jabs conservative pundits like to use to avoid actually debating, it could actually get opps thinking.

Therefore, if an employee is being paid less than [number of dollars needed for the post-tax total to pay for the basic necessities in a given area divided by forty] per hour, they are being ripped off and essentially having their labor, productivity, and profit generation value stolen by their employer.

Wages are a business expense, and if a company cannot afford to pay for its labor, it is by definition a failing business. A company stealing labor to stay afloat (without even touching those that do so simply to increase profit margins and/or management/executive pay/bonuses) is no more ethical than a failing construction company breaking into a lumber yard and stealing wood.

Our goal as a society should be to protect each other, especially those that most need protection, not to subsidize failing businesses whose owners could quite well subsidize them on their own.

stage 3 dialogue is so freaking funny

like its clear that a large number of "AFAB trans women" are consciously trying to hurt trans women; intentionally using it to muddy the waters of transfem terminology, to 'gotcha' the idea that woman is an identity, and to position themselves as authorities on trans womanhood

and i also think there are people (mostly kids it looks like) who genuinely think "AFAB trans woman" is an accurate description of their gender and experience.

but when asked, it becomes clear that these peoples' definition of trans woman is "kinda a woman but not really because i have this connection to maleness and masculinity" because in order for "afab trans woman" to feel right to you you need to have a definition of trans woman other than "woman who happens to have been AMAB" and well. thats probably going be a shitty one.
