The Giant Pool Of Money. Implications

Actually, actually, being corrosive would mean that it is the one doing the damage I'm not aware of a term for a property of a metal for how resistant it is to corrosion... like, "Corrosibility" or something.

My salary has increased substantially but I kept my bills the same - I'm financially secure. You don't have to live at the edge of your means...

Savings and disability. That'd last until my inheritance.

And we don't all get sick and can't work.People can be financially secure.

And if their own way is the ability to leave something to their heirs?

What are the last three marketable skills that you've learned?

I think it is fair to expect the economic system to allow them to do so. They'd be "down-trodden" in the same way as anybody who is prevented from making their own way.

I got the implication. By how much? 1/4th? 1/100th?

I was wondering how much of the down-treading you thought was caused by the middle class. If the work isn't worth it then you shouldn't expect people to pay for it - that's not trodding someone down, that's just business.

If it is going to cost me $10 to pay someone to bring a plate of food from that side of the restaurant to this one, then I'll just go over there and grab it myself. That isn't worth $10 to me.If that isn't an option, then I won't go to your restaurant... and then nobody is getting paid. I dunno, I self-checkout and bag my own groceries. There's nothing wrong with doing business.

They don't charge $10 to carry a plate across the room yet... I don't know why you're asking me that...Some servers are better than others in how they treat customers and fulfill their duties - as a patron that is where the value is provided. Not all servers are the same quality.The last two bars I went to were night and day in how the bartender treated me and did their job. The good one made a lot more money off me than the bad one. Just treading people down is wrong but doing business isn't.That I gave the exceptional bartender a huge tip and the bad bartender a normal one is not me making the bad one downtrodden - they just suck at their job and are experiencing the consequences.

More quality = more tip = more pay. Not necessarily if you're counting tips - and if so that's their fault. And the guy in the fancy place is making even more. So what? Maybe serving isn't a job that you can rely on as being a sustainable career...

It doesn't have to be necessarily true It certainly helps So? Ok...What's your point?I'm afraid you've lost me.

How so?

I was? This is the first time you mentioned fairness to me here, iirc. I didn't realize that you were trying to say that it isn't fair for someone to make minimum wage without tips. I don't agree to that. No, not necessarily - it depends on the value of the work they are providing to the employer. And that is fair.
