Ever seen someone doing their “unskilled job” all their life? It’s just fucking magic!
The truth is that capitalists hate skilled workers, because those workers have bargaining power. This is why they love the sort of automation which completely removes workers or thought from the equation, even if the ultimate solution is multiple times more expensive or less competent than before.
Nothing is more infuriating to a boss, than a worker that can talk back with experience.
Could someone tell me why it wouldnt work if we all got the same pay ? Like we are equally important to each other, non of us could survive without that someone else did something different than what you do for a living.
Wouldnt it be more sustainable if people choose an occupation out of passion than whats most profitable ? There wouldnt be any labour shortages.
You could just open an LLC that researches if having lunch everyday kills you and each day report, “Not yet.” For this to work you’d have to prove the value of anything you’d want to do for work to the government and what happens if the government is bad at knowing what has potential. You know, hypothetically.
This is a bridge too far for most people, but you could have an equal society just by setting a limit to salary differential. If the highest salary was capped at 5 times the lowest, that would be fine. The largest socialist organizations in the world (militaries) have this kind of system.
There’s a popular myth that, without the motivation of money, nothing would ever get done.
Im in IT just for the cash and being able to work from home, the older I get I understand how much I hate it and is totally unmotivated and do a shitty job. Id rather do something semi-physically work in mechanics or machining that gets more appreciated. But I stay and lurk along…
Why beat around the bush. Just remove the concept of money altogether
I get what you mean but I cant really see how that would work. There must be some kind of score keeping.
