This is a myopic point of view.
"High wages" are not the issue, inequality is, and the largest contributor to that are low wages.
We should be fighting poverty, not aiming at the middle class to earn less.
- Wolfenstein98k 4y agoFighting poverty =\= fighting inequality. Why the shift? Is your problem that Musk is much richer than the 1% (inequality), or is it that there are people without anything at all?
- manuelabeledo 4y agoDoesn't it make sense to aim at increasing wages at the lowest end, instead of targeting higher earners? I get the sense that people in HN believe that most tech workers in the Bay Area are some sort of high rolling millionaires. They mostly are not, and the proof is that most are priced out of housing in SF too. Saying that inequality is caused by tech workers is thus a myopic statement.
