It’s amazing that people can’t see how much better capitalism has made their lives. 100 years ago, the richest man on the planet didn’t live as comfortably as anyone making minimum wage today. Even the homeless benefit from capitalism. In socialist countries, there is no food. With capitalism, at least a homeless person has the option to steal from a supermarket, but they shouldn’t have to. A homeless man used to get lucky, find a dollar on the ground, and get himself a McDonald’s burger. The socialist policies that destroy the dollar hurt those at the very bottom the most.

If there was no minimum wage then there would be no unemployed. It would be legal to hire anyone who wanted to work at a rate that made the arrangement economically sustainable. And if govt didn't set square foot minimums then many more could afford to own or rent small homes as opposed to being homeless. Make work & affordable shelter illegal, while (as you pointed out) destroying the primary tool for trade & resourse allocation, & you end up with lots of waste, fewer people able to help, & a serious homeless problem all at the same time.
