    In France we have a meme where “public transport funding” or “health insurance” are listed as benefits, except they are mandatory according to the laws. Haha :(

    It’s like saying “paying our taxes” or “getting a salary” is listed as a benefit.

      This happens in Australia with the mandatory pension contributions.

        To quote the immortal Chris Rock, “minimum wage is like your boss saying ‘I would pay you less, but it’s illegal’.”
