so weird to see Americans fight to keep wages so low people have to depend on the government to get all they need.


Let people earn their way.

the CEOs cant have ever raising profits people

the only way you get ever raising profits is to squeeze your employees to death.


at some point you fuck your own self by seeking ever raising profits.
 
Henry Ford figured this one out a long time ago.

pay you employees enough that they can buy what your having them make and sale

Businesses dont have to do that now, there's cheap and easy credit (still probably, havent applied for much since 2008).

It is one of the major contradictions of the system. The more educated we are, allegedly, the more money we earn. In fact, the more educated we are the more we doubt this silly system and its ludicrous trade-goods. Education makes us human, capitalism makes us robots, mostly ill-paid.

IMO, people in fields that use that for the public good, like Dept of Welfare (to actually detect fraud and assist the truly needy to move on), Child Services, Social Services, etc are not paid enough. If they were paid more, then we might get higher quality people and get some actual changes in those departments. More people doing the RIGHT job and making a difference. But those jobs are often poorly or mediocrely paid and so the lowest common denominator takes them.

I think that, long-term, higher salaries paid there would lower taxpayer $$ spent elsewhere.

But the difference is...this is 'skilled' employment, not unskilled.

Havkng worked for qnd in government, I can say pay isn't the primary problem. The system inherently is set against skilled driven people, and designed to better employ drones. Civil services need major reforms more than they need a pay raise (not that a raize would be bad either). Money isn't the best motivation for performance.

Agreed. And the social services do attract alot of idealistic people...who get the stuffing beat out of them by bureaucracy. I have also observed that. But good pay and people with initiative, not locked into the same processes, IMO can make a difference. The problem with bureaucracy is that initiative and risk are not rewarded. Fear of failure is very real and completely reinforced.

An economics class that I took showed how people will work longer for less pay, at a job they enjoy, then they will at a job, where they make more money, but are unhappy.
Nothing wrong with rewarding initiative and diversity, within the job.
