Minimum wage protects against new workers getting on the employment ladder, and encourages outcomes like McDonalds replacing them with machines, as well as funneling them into the minimum wage circumventing "gig economy".

All of the fettering of capitalism is destructive acts done by fools, or narcissists to feel morally superior, that make economic and social problems worse, rather than being of any help.

The solution to the problems we are discussing here is to increase competition in schooling, so that kids get better equipped for their futures, so they don't fall through the cracks, and that requires schooling to move away from the socialistic publicly funded schooling and towards outcomes-focused private schooling.
