Instead of trying to define "socially important job", how about...
If government is having trouble hiring people for roles they can either increase the wages paid, or enter into the housing market and include "free housing" as a taxable benefit for those roles. You know, like governments do for the military and other foreign service staff.
However, maybe I'm just salty because I've been waiting for 6+ months (with no eta) for permission from the San Jose City Council to do a renovation.
- pyrolistical 3y agoWe cannot rely on the gov as the arbitrator on what is “socially good”. Society as whole needs to see the consequences of the status quo. We need to change. Then we need to vote
- ivan_gammel 3y agoIncrease in wages goes directly into the pockets of landlords. It’s hardly the kind of redistribution of taxpayer money everybody wants.
