Minimum Wage & Economics: An Essay

Minimum Wage & Economics: An Essay

Edward E. Rochon

Edward E. Rochon

A suggestion for reconciling business interests with interests of laborers on the matter of minimum wage. Some comments on economics are included.Some comments on economics and its effects upon society precede a suggestion for dealing with the topic of minimum wage. I suggest that the state guarantee minimum wage without imposing it upon businesses. This most likely would guarantee full employment. Full employment should cover the cost of the subsidy. Moreover, unemployment creates social problems that cost society both directly and indirectly. The state sets the base wage and business offers whatever it wishes for low income positions. High income jobs require no subsidy and the high income earner will deal with the employer directly.

Lightship Chronicles Chapter 3 : The Fruity Dance

Lightship Chronicles Chapter 3 : The Fruity Dance

Florin Nicoara

Florin Nicoara

Chapter 3 : Fruity Dance Andee and Nayaa get lost in the warehouse district where their lives are almost cut short, when they encounter something truly weird before making their escape. Later they finally reach the Prave. At first it's all fun and games, dancing to the beat with the live action 3D anime characters such as light-fairies and 3D whirls that are the light show of the club.But the fun turns a twist as Andee has a mysterious encounter with a Bitani light-fairy, the sensuous Silestra, while Nayaa invents the fruity dance, to poor Gono's dismay. Lightship Chronicles is a young adult adventure set on a mysterious world. Carpatia is a harsh desert land, but one with spectacular vistas and populated by two very different yet resilient people, the Carpati and the Bitani. Both believe in competing myths of their history. Myths of great ancient battles fought over by a clan of mysterious Sacred Warriors against magical Light-Fairies. Under the glowing warmth of their red-giant sun, it's easy for the Carpati to believe in their beautiful myths. They spend most of their long 36 hour days living a simple farming lifestyle in the Township built on the lower slopes of the mighty Table Mountain. The Bitani meanwhile rule over the Carpati from their futuristic city atop the massive pillar-like tabletop of a mountain, and have a very different, and quite mysterious perspective. For the Carpati the only respite from the drudgery of their simple days are the monthly lightship races. The hovering lightships speed at more than 700kph over a 600km course that runs up the sides of mesas, through the canyons of the Crags, over the 10m waves of the Great Salt sea, over the Long Straight, the Dunes, and through the Eastern Hills and its many giant Baobab threes. It's a spectacular race unlike anything else and the favorite pastime of Andee and his little brother Mykee. Both dream of being lightship pilots while watching the race from their favorite hangout, the 1000m high Outcrop overlooking The Crags. Join the adventure now, because this is growing into an epic tale years into the making. Visit LightshipChronicles.com for more in depth details of the race circuit, including images of the course, the outcrop, and the lightships.
