Minimum wages and universal basic income

[panamaniac]

That specific category is kind of surprising but I've heard that, in the US, wilderness guide wages are quite paltry (like other categories they basically depend on tips).

This is why I don’t like minimum wage policies. Nobody really believes in a minimum wage. There always end up being certain jobs and people that are allowed to be paid less. Which leads to weird situations like certain jobs that can only be done by teenagers, for example (because adults would have to be paid much more), or the sort-of requirement to tip (I mean, not tipping at all is basically theft, but completely legal, which is an absolutely bonkers category to exist in a country that supposedly obeys rules of law), which then leads to silliness in the tax code, not to mention no end of argument over how tips are handled by management.

You may be overstating it ...
