That is not how the labor market works... At all.
"Worth the pay" is overridden by "absolutely need this money for me or my kids to survive"
- ralusek 7y agoI responded to another poster. Desperation (debatable regarding whether or not this is possible in the United States) breaks markets, sure, but that doesn't mean that they suddenly need to be micromanaged. I have long been in favor of UBI in order to remove desperation from the table. I'm not, however, in favor of micromanaging roles at companies and arbitrarily determining what they're worth.
