    Could accidentally give someone collateral to take out a massive loan they cannot afford long term.

    Wtf is this paternalistic BS. They could buy drugs or guns too!! 😱

    “Paying people more would be irresponsible of us. The poors would be burdened with the responsibility of having too much money! It would destroy them!”

      with the responsibility of having too much money! It would destroy them!

      It often does, seen it firsthand. Hell, I doubled my income and benefits from last job to current. Did not manage it well, wasn’t prepared, fucked up my credit (though I always pay on time!), never learned about dealing with money.

      Also, are you suggesting a Japanese company of software devs are “poors”?! Don’t even know how to reply…

      This whole thread cements my view that lemmings are a bunch of teens and 20-somethings that have little real-world experience and are angry at what their generation is waking up to. (And you SHOULD be angry. But FFS, take a deep breath, take a wider, longer view.)

        Yes dear, everyone that disagrees with you is just an angry child. 🙄
