I see fundamentally human wellbeing as more important. Jobs are just the structure society has built as a gateway for this.
- simianwords 7mo agoexactly - end consumers like you and me will end up having to pay for their jobs indirectly. i personally want products i purchase to be cheaper and i don't want to be paying for products that are costly simply because they are hiring people for "human wellbeing". i would rather people work in productive places than just exist in a company for some reason.
- inigyou 7mo agoAlternatively, instead of things being cheaper, you could receive that amount more money.
- simianwords 7mo agowho? the employees? for doing what? i don't want to live in a world where people are getting paid when they don't add any value
- inigyou 7mo agoyou are literally complaining about the idea of having more money
- simianwords 7mo agomore money for doing nothing? i don't want to live in a world like that. what part of this is not clear? two options - the 4000 employees can still be employed in block - thats around $600,000,000 that goes into literally no value and this is price borne by us consumers - or the 4000 employees get fired and work in different companies that actually require them so that we as consumers can actually buy more products by choosing option 1, you not only accept that as consumers we pay more for the product, but also miss out on other valuable work the 4000 employees can do. no good economy runs this way.

- singpolyma3 7mo agoThen I suggest fixing society or finding a better one
- renewiltord 7mo agoI actually don’t think you do. At the least, the question then becomes “is wellbeing most well served by paying a small number of software engineers a lot of money”. That is prima facie absurd.
