Yes, "working class" is offensive. Like just about any other classification criteria is. Are you not woke enough to see this?
Your two self-contradictions are
1. "you can make an reasonable argument that prohibiting such arrangements would not cause much harm" vs "Anytime you implement a minimum wage that’s higher than the market value of somebody’s labor, you’re restricting their ability to find employment"
2. "People won’t enter into an employment arrangement that doesn’t benefit them" vs "I don’t think a minimum wage in general is entirely unreasonable"
And where were my self contradictions?
