Some jobs pay more than others. Some jobs pay less than others. Unless you are arguing for completely equal pay then some people are going to have jobs that pay less than other people.
- foldr 11y agoThere have been times in the US when fewer people got paid shit wages than do at present. This isn't economically inevitable.

I see a lot of people in this thread suggesting (or at least hinting) that there was some mythical Golden Age in which a telephone jockey got paid something other than the tiniest pittance allowed by law and/or market forces. That... is not the case.
