    Perfection is the enemy of good fallacy.

    We aren’t getting rid of gas stations or capitalism anytime soon, this is something that we can do right now.

      Let’s say the gas station worker makes $15 an hour

      Let’s say gas is $3 per gallon

      That means if the gas station worker wasn’t there the gas station could give away 5 gallons of gas for free per hour and still make the same profit.

      Which is better for the whole society? One person making $15 an hour doing a task that 49 other states have no problem doing themselves. Or 1 person from the community getting 5 free gallons of gas every hour?

      If you never stop paying that person $15 an hour, you can never move on to better things.
