- lazide 4y agoWho is going to organize said organization and deal with all the BS (petty and not) to make a livable wage, if they can do simpler and get the same, or do the same and get paid more? A few will, but most won’t. The amount of risk to develop and the type of skills required are non trivial.
- snapplebobapple 4y agoa livable wage is a really bad metric because the definition of living is extremely subjective. We had it right initially with market derived wages. This talk of living wages is keeping us from real discussions about market power abuse/monopsony/oligopsony situations in the labor market that would improve labor market efficiency a lot more than arguing over what a living wage is.
