> It's completely ridiculous that you say "Okay I'll give you $100k if you live in NYC, but only $60k for the same work if you live in the Rust Belt." We've been talking about this for the last 150 years. Workers are paid for their labor power, not the value they produce. > If it makes economic sense for you to pay me $100k, making that conditional on where I live is just a jerk move. Like laws of motion, the economic system we have naturally leads to exploiting this disparity. > In practice I wouldn't do this. I'd simply walk away from a company that uses this offensive hiring practice on me. Extend this to the labor pool at large. Some people have the ability to walk away from these practices while others don't. Ask yourself who has this ability and who doesn't and if this is the outcome we want.
