alt Hacker NewsWould you rather people not be allowed to do these jobs at all? That wouldn't leave them better off. Even paying them more must necessarily be weighed against the opportunity of expanded hiring at the prevailing market wage, lest you simply create a new privileged high caste of super highly paid Amazon drivers or Facebook content moderators.
I would rather not have people's dignity priced by the market, the same one that created the Zuckerbergs and Sacklers of this world.
Markets are fundamentally just a proxy for the interests of rich people. There can be no fair allocation of resources as long as the mechanism to do so is a figleaf for the oligarchy.
