This is a real dumb argument. A fry cook "works harder" than a Doctor too. Hard labor isn't the criteria for wages, it's your skills & the demand for those skills. But that doesn't mean that CEO pay should go up 1,000% when other wages become stagnant as productivity increase.https://twitter.com/Joshua4Congress/status/1171024209964744704 …

Why not, though? They're both jobs. Both workers have the same human needs. Shouldn't both be working to their skill level? Doesn't everyone have unique talents that make them optimally useful in particular positions?

I'm in favor of a min wage that's in line with modern productivity i.e. around $20 per hr, or even a UBI, but don't think you can justify paying someone who has basic skills, who is in an overly-saturated labor pool, the same as someone with unique skills in a small labor pool.

Surely there is a rational line inbetween using physics and applied force to determine pay (RIP artists unless you're a marble sculptor) and what we have now that's horrendous (billionaires existing and people living in squalor for no reason). This seems to be a cold take, IMO.
