Talk about locking someone into a dead end job, sapping away any impetus for self improvement, and making it impossible for them to achieve more by making them dependent on maintaining zero skills. Minimum wage jobs were not designed to be careers. They fill a niche for unskilled labor and pay accordingly. I'm reading a history of English servants in the last century, and it is clear why Britain did not have slavery. The fact is they essentially did, but they bound the servants to themselves by paying them a few pounds
per year and providing them living quarters and food. The servants were stuck there as they had become dependent on the masters. And not one of these people, master or servant, drove a Boxster which points out the inherent flaws in that system, and this conversation.
