Did anyone else see the job posting for a dishwasher @ $50k/yr in Vancouver? No experience required either https://www.narcity.com/vancouver/vancouver-restaura

  I am ok with lower salaries catching up. For decades it used to be that mainly the top 10% benefited from a better economy so maybe it’s time everybody else’s incomes to go up. It’s against my own interest but it seems fair. Nobody worried about inflation when house prices, stocks, healthcare and education shot up. It seems they worry only now that low incomes have pressure to go up.

    If you look at customers served by an occupation it's needlessly absurd to pay as little as possible when there is a hand full of staff making millions of units/day. It doesn't benefit the economy. Many if not most of these are factory jobs that are horrific to do while supper important for economy of scale but I think with some effort we could also make a difference between a truck driver moving goods for 10000 people vs 1 customer. Or a dishwasher in a soup kitchen serving 2000 people vs a small restaurant serving 30.

  Cheaper than closing the restaurant! Plus at that price, you can afford to be picky.

    And maybe their workers will actually be engaged in their jobs. I am always confused when low-wage employers complain that none of their workers give a sh*t.

  Roughly $25/hr, in Vancouver, the most expensive city on the continent. Sounds like a wage that is fair.
