minus-squared00ery@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-23 months agoIt’s really not my argument. I’m saying we can work fewer hours. However since you insist on bringing up the point of pay equality, under the current system, how can you justify the following discrepancies: Why should a fireman risk their life for $56k? https://www.indeed.com/career/firefighter/salaries Or a teacher who’s bringing up the future generation get just $36k? https://www.indeed.com/career/teacher/salaries Whilst a web developer gets nearly double for sitting on their ass? https://www.indeed.com/career/web-developer/salaries Why does a plastic surgeon earn $100k more than an oncologist (who is, I’d argue, much more likely to save save a life) https://www.forbes.com/advisor/in/education/doctor-salary-in-us/
