@RGC_BPPA EVEN IF it includes only lower skilled worker, why would ANYONE assume they shouldn't be able to survive for their work. -
@emptywheel To me, it's not even about survival...it's about fair conpensation for the work they do to keep the business running. -
@RGC_BPPA I focus on survival bc it implies assumptions about expendability of other people that is really vile. -
@emptywheel No disagreement on that.
