This tweet is a fascinating insight into the dire state of the U.K. Mostly it’s people who find it morally abhorrent for people to be on minimum wage serving coffee. If you can’t use the minimum wage for entry level unskilled work. What can you use it for? Many seem to think Peter should divert his savings to subsidise higher wages effectively operating at a loss. An economically irrational thing to do. Why would you pay (and work) to lose money? Many seem to think he should shut the coffee shop down completely, removing those jobs from the market all together. Presumably no jobs is a better outcome than minimum wage jobs. The minimum wage is now roughly £26k a year. About what I started on as a mathematics lecturer in 2010 after I completed by PhD. I worked 60-80 hours a week. Your take home pay on the national average wage is only £170 a week more than someone on a minimum wage job. Which in order to get you’d need to have a profession and about a decades worth of experience in that profession. That’s like one family meal and maybe a trip to the cinema. Hardly worth a decades hard work is it? And if you’re trying to save for a property, you won’t be able to have that. It also means that the median UK worker is a family meal and some mild entertainment away from morally objectionable abject poverty. What a mess
