That is a reasonable retort, but it ignores that last question I asked. >How is that any different than a software developer receiving a higher salary because they are more efficient due to computers being more powerful? I'll admit software developers might be a bad example for that given question since they are responsible for some downstream efficiency, but the overall point still stands. Why do high skill jobs get to capture the value of their increased efficiency but low skills jobs don't?
