Ah yes, I can’t wait for our future Bureau of Labor Assessment that will magically and accurately measure every profession’s impact on human well-being, and then also magically enforce some kind of earnings grab from the baddies. Sounds like a great plan!

The cliché about teachers buying school supplies with their own money is sadly true. And when COVID hit healthcare workers didn't strike for higher pay. Capitalism was never a values system and it doesn't reward nice guys.
