1b. Renormalise bids based on each employee's salary.
- Nav_Panel 9y agoThen an enterprising but low paid employee can rent their spot to a more highly paid employee and make a solid profit.
- acjohnson55 9y agoGreat! Why should rent-seeking be reserved for the rich?
- Nav_Panel 9y agoWe should seek to find solutions that eliminate rent-seeking altogether...
- Grustaf 9y agoVery good point! I'm sure he'll quickly rise in the ranks if he's that clever though, which will erase the profit.
- dmichulke 9y ago1cA Explain everyone that now his auction bids should be kept secret unless he wants to share his salary with everyone else or 1cB Explain everyone that now the auction result (list of bidders and bids) is secret and people should just trust you.
- Grustaf 9y agoThey are normalised before being made public.
- Symmetry 9y agoIf you want your employees to all be able to have as many nice things as each other you should pay them all the same. If you don't I don't see how a company parking lot is any different than one employee paying more for a shorter commute than another.
- Grustaf 9y agoDo you also think that if the government for example sets limits on the price charged by schools, they might as well set prices for cars or books? Not all things are the same, especially not houses and parking lots.
- acjohnson55 9y agoOn a related note, I've often thought fines should be proportional to a person's means.
- Grustaf 9y agoThey sometimes are, at least in Sweden. And if you are sentenced to a fine in a court for a crime you're convicted of the fine is set to a certain number of "daily fines". The size of each is a proportion of your salary.
- SilasX 9y agoSure, after Lyft renormalizes the prices they charge to customers by customers' salaries.
