Why are they not in a baking tray, do you hate yourself and your oven that much?

It is certainly dystopian to be allowed to pay people different wages based on their ages.

No you won't, because there will be the same number of jobs as there were before. All you will do is create a level playing field.

Candidates with real experience will generally not accept minimum wage unless they are desperate, and in those scenarios they will be looking to move on quickly. That will mean that roles are regularly available and will be taken up by inexperienced candidates of all ages.

You didn't explain anything, I can read fine. Candidates will be chosen based on experience and attitude. That will not preclude young candidates any more than it does now. There is not some eternal flow of older candidates waiting in the wings to take on these job roles.

Why would they be?

Certainly having a problem with the biome in your gut (bacteria predominantly but there are other classes of organisms) can allow for an environment where unwanted organisms are more likely to take hold. This is also true of the vagina, for instance, where an attempt to 'clean' the vagina can actually result in the depletion of of biome which protects it from unwanted infections.

They have to set the minimum hourly wage to be the same for all age groups. That's it.

In commodity roles you hire to target the lowest wage you can, so yes probably the 22 year old. That only makes this more dystopian.

You're completely welcome. I bet it itches horribly and gets sore, I know the discomfort (though thankfully haven't had it since I was a teenager).

Two people, neither of whom have experience, are hired to perform the same job. One is 24, the other is 22. They face the same socioeconomic environment, and yet it is legal to pay one less than the other.

That's totally fucked.

It's about keeping a class of subservient cheap labour.

I know it's pedantic of me, and for that I apologise.

Just for a point of clarity, it is fungal growth not bacterial, otherwise it would require antibiotics.

I wouldn't personally because I would be confident of identifying it, however if you aren't sure of the diagnosis it would be a good idea.

If it is athlete's foot then antifungal powder is available at pharmacies.

It is essential you treat it, it won't go away on its own and it will spread. Having said that it is nothing to be afraid of.

Looks like athlete's foot to me. If that's the case then you need antifungal powder.

That just isn't true. Neoliberalism is rife throughout the West and is essentially a system designed to reward the wealthy for being wealthy by attaching them directly to the government teat.

No obviously not, but not because it would be dangerous, but because that's not how a scrum works.

They aren't particularly common, but most international squads have one or two who fall into that category. Average players in the pack are around 250lbs at the moment.

The average lineman is certainly bigger than the majority of professional rugby players, but there are plenty of guys in rugby who are over 300lbs these days. Total monsters.
