Not the same thing. An essential worker was somebody doing a job needed for society to continue. That includes both skilled (years of training) jobs and unskilled (a week or two at most before you can do it) jobs.
No that money needs to go to coke addled morons with degrees in cognitive dissonance who spend their days fucking children and gambling in ways that can crash the global economy. Also ceo’s that make the worst possible decisions.
Although, what does a corporate lawyer, wall street gambler, CEO, or congressman really contribute to society? Except stimulating the therapy industry with all the kids they fuck?
They are negative contributors because they hoard money. Other people actually contribute to the economy by spending money.
Oh, yeah, and every 10 years the markets crash because they’ve managed to repeal banking regulations or have accumulated too much risk to survive a significant downturn. Then the federal government bails them out?
Uh, there was a whole family by that name on my street growing up. The dad was I think a finance guy. The mom was some ghoulish silicon valley law botherer.
People who feed you are doing grunt work? People who take your garbage away too? You gave just dismissed two groups of people whose jobs are vital to your wellbeing.
The problem with your thinking is it’s actually not thinking at all.
Yes. People who do jobs that take minimal training and who could be replaced in a week are doing grunt work. That’s the difference between skilled and unskilled. Do you need to go through years of training to do your job? Congratulations, you’re not as replaceable as the guy who was trained in 2 days by a high school dropout.
Cool. So if everyone Learns To Code because that’s the only way to deserve an actual living, who does the essential but unskilled jobs then? Oh I get it, you’re advocating for labour immigration. Cool.
So you want labour shortages (and/or strikes because that’s the other way to effect a supply shortage) for a while to hurt the economy before The Market finds a way to pay the people it wants to consume their way to infinite growth

If their job is essential for the continuation of society, maybe we should pay them more?

rice is essential. should it be more expensive than caviar?
edit: I misread more as in more than the non-essential.
That isn’t the argument. The argument is that they should be paid a living wage, not that they should be paid more than anybody else.

ah I see. I miss read “more.”
I may have had a strong buzz at the time.
Rice is not a person.

I dont know. Does it have to pay rent?
The problem is that ANYBODY can do it. Why pay a premium for grunt work?

to be fair it is grunt work compared to your average office job.
doesnt make them any less deserving at all of a fair living though.

Supply and demand. The supply reduced so wages went up but only as much as demand required. If you want more money be more valuable.
Well, we could skip the labor shortage until wages increase by increasing wages right away.
We simply don’t have a perfect market, which would be required for supply and demand to regulate without hiccups.
So you want labour shortages (and/or strikes because that’s the other way to effect a supply shortage) for a while to hurt the economy before The Market finds a way to pay the people it wants to consume their way to infinite growth
What a weirdly planned economy
Except “nobody wants to work anymore” i.e. you can’t actually replace them that easily.
So it literally is the same thing then.
You are the joke in the post.
because necessary work deserves the person doing it to survive.
