If you think we need a “consensus” about what people should be paid, you don’t know anything about economics. Or freedom.
Oh, I understand that one’s wages should reflect what the job entails. Low skill levels equals lower wages.
I also know that some employers, if they were able to do so, would keep wages very, very low in order to make more money for themselves. Is that right? Not for me to say.
And yes...freedom also says that those who aren’t able to make the money they need to survive have the option to go where there IS money and do what they need to in order to survive.
I suppose freedom also means that those who can’t make more money....have to deal with the consequences.
