> Simple answer: economics.
Yes, that's a very simple answer – unfortunately, not entirely conclusive. A MacBook costs the same across the entire US. A Netflix subscription costs the same across the entire US.
Maybe equal pay is just the right kind of unreasonable: The one that will get increasingly more reasonable the more it is being done, providing a push towards a more egalitarian society, first interregional and then international.
- geodel 6y agoNetflix cost lot lower in India. Macbooks quite a bit higher. In one case reason is much lower purchasing power in other case much higher tax rate as Macbooks may come under luxury goods. Even if I limit to US none of these 2 are like recurring major expense like food, housing, and myriad local services which have location sensitive pricing.
