I’m not arguing against that.

No, I’m not. When did anyone ever say to hire “bad workers”? Hire good workers!

The extent to which someone “earned” something does not negate the need for just and fair labour laws.

University isn’t a job. Anyway.

Nobody is forcing employers to hire shitty workers.

“And you’re right, my father paid half of my college and graduate school. I guess that’s just another example of nepotism.”

So what does this have to do with paying employees fairly?

Seems like a stronger argument for lower tuition, not extreme, unregulated inequality.

That is a gross oversimplification, and ignores many aspects of why someone might choose to live somewhere.

That is not at all what is being suggested.

Also, the idea that it’s fine to hand dumbass kids cushy jobs contradicts the extent to which you claim to value corporate leadership.

That’s what’s called “nepotism” a.k.a. the exact opposite of “merit.”

The short answer to all of your questions is because it is just and, in the long run, better for everyone, including anyone who might take a pay cut.

I don’t see what tuition has to do with wage regulation.

you forgot “extremely intelligent” and “hardworking” people whose “father owns the company”

You insult Lebron.

Everyone who works, even if it’s “just flipping burgers” needs and deserves a living wage, yes.

McDonald’s doesn’t rule the world.

This logic is like saying if we legalized weed everyone will become a pothead.
