Another beautiful Chinese tale I found:

"During the Jin Dynasty, a young boy named Wang Xiang (Wang the Lucky) lost his mother to illness. His father took another wife so that the boy would have maternal care. His stepmother, however, was a bad-tempered, evil-natured woman, who took a dislike to her stepson, and often berated him in front of his father. This went on incessantly, and eventually, she managed to turn Lucky Wang's father against the boy. Despite this hardship, Lucky Wang remained devoted in his filial regard for them both.

One winter it was unusually cold, and snow fell for many days. The snow piled up on all sides of the house, and the small creek nearby froze solid with ice. The severe weather forced the family indoors, and all the animals found shelter wherever they could. The world outdoors was a broad blanket of white. Wang Xiang's stepmother took sick. She craved medicine, and her thoughts fixed on the image of fresh fish. She demanded fresh carp as medicine to cure her illness. As it was still snowing, and everywhere the rivers had long since frozen solid, where could fresh fish be found? Lucky Wang was a dutiful son, however, and could not bear seeing his parents unhappy.

He forced his way out into the cold and walked to the creek side to see what he could do. The snow was piled deep, and the boy shivered in the cold. He looked and looked, but found no access to running water. Tired and disappointed, he sat down on the ice and lamented his failure to find fish to cure his mother. Having no way to solve the problem, he simply let his tears flow. An idea came to him as he cried, and having no recourse, in his desperation, he removed his coat and shirt, and lay down on the ice amid his hot tears. The more he cried, the more upset he got. The more upset he got, the more his tears flowed. Before long, his body heat and the apidly expanding puddle of tears melted a hole in the ice. Two carp that had been frozen into the river-water suddenly leaped up out of the crack in the ice and flopped onto the bank. Amazed and delighted, Wang Xiang scooped them up and carried them home to his ailing mother.

Seeing the two live fish, Wang Xiang's stepmother felt thoroughly ashamed of her selfishness. Afterwards, she changed her attitude towards her stepson, and became a kind and caring person. Many people said that Wang Xiang's response came from his sincere filial devotion. His noble attitude moved Nature into giving him a reward."

When you're going to bore people to death with drivel posts can you keep it laconic so they can die faster?

Pretty soon 8 million will be minimum wage.

That would mean saving money is bad and spending money immediately (hyper consumerism) is good. Owning stuff instead of owning money is also what people revert to doing in historical examples where huge inflation occurred.

Some socialist people campaigning for Congress have minimum wage platforms of $20 or even as high as $30. One of them has a chance as she is the #2 scoring candidate in 2020. She is running again in 2022 with her $30 minimum wage and $2000 UBI platform as the way to deal with inflation and high housing costs.

Rebecca Parsons for $30/hr and $2K/mo UBI
[youtu.be] https://youtu.be/YSJhjCgT5XY

“I’m calling for a federal minimum wage of $30, because that’s the floor across the country for one working adult to be able to support one child. From rural to urban to suburban areas in the Northeast, South, Midwest, Southwest, West Coast, Alaska, and Hawaii, the federal minimum wage isn’t enough to support a family, and neither is $15 an hour. The Fight for $15 campaign started 10 years ago and the demand is no longer commensurate with real-world conditions,” said Rebecca Parsons. She is a democratic party candidate in the Tacoma area of Washington State.

With respect to Rebecca Parsons' concerns, as an example from her greater metropolitan area of $15/hr being the floor of what someone makes with the business still being highly profitable, there is the Dick's hamburger chain. It's website [www.ddir.com] https://www.ddir.com/employment/ shows the fast food wage is now $19+ (was $15 before inflation) with health care insurance fully paid and $28,000 education scholarship offered (not a loan). The fast food chain also supports single parents with childcare cost assistance. The food at this chain remains cheaper than McD, so high benefits doesn't mean high prices if the patriotic corporation is willing to sacrifice some of its profit to support the country and community around it.

Parsons isn't the only one wanting minimum wage to be raised above $15/hr. This past September 2021, Robert Reich, who was Secretary of Labor under the Clinton administration, tweeted, “Today seems like a good time to remind you that if wages had kept pace with productivity gains over the last 50 years, the minimum wage would be $24 an hour.” He clarified that "$15 is the floor, not the ceiling, of what working people deserve."

I like that idea. Although $30 seems a high, since not everyone is single and supporting a child or lives in California.

If a company won't pay its workers enough for them to live comfortably, though, I question whether we want to lower our standards for them. Why do they deserve to stay in business if they can't even provide for their employees and stay profitable?

It reminds me of the "too big to fail" concept. Socialism for companies, capitalism for the rest of us. Why people would put corporate welfare ahead of human welfare is beyond my understanding.

In USD, my country's minimum wage is $15. That is the highest on the planet. Most of the top economies are around $10 USD an hour.

Biden's Ministry of Truth Director Nina Jankowicz, has spread pro-establishment pro Brandon fake news repeatedly. She's anti-freedom, pro-censorship, a shill and a nutjob.

Perfect for the job.
