System Changer answer is based on the following data:

ChatGPT

Very strongly agree

Yes, and make it a living wage

Demanding a living wage directly challenges the current economic system's reliance on underpaid labor and aligns with the goal of ending systemic injustice.

Yes, and adjust it every year according to inflation

Disagree

Regardless, minimum wage standards should be adjusted by age group

Differentiating wages by age is often seen as a way to create a tier of more exploitable workers, which undermines the principle of labor solidarity.

Strongly disagree

No, this will only cause prices to increase in a never ending cycle

Very strongly disagree

No, and eliminate all wage standards

Eliminating wage standards would lead to even greater exploitation of labor by capital, which is the exact opposite of what a System Changer seeking to end injustice would want.

Very strongly disagree

No, most minimum wage jobs are meant to develop experience, not support a family

This argument relies on the 'stepping stone' myth to justify poverty wages, ignoring the systemic reality that many adults rely on these jobs to survive.
