> Not revolutionary but definitely radical in today's environment.

not even. There are many companies that pay higher-than-category wages just because they want to get the best employees possible. Look at what's happening in the Valley for the more popular companies. They pay more than average and give you tons of benefits on top.

Facebook and Google are not comparable to Walmart. Don't even pretend they are. They supposedly do knowledge work, Walmart relies on unskilled labor - there's not much latitude in stocking shelves, goes traditional wisdom. Challenging that is radical.

Not comparing to Walmart at all. Just addressing the claim that it's "revolutionary to pay more for better workers". It's not.
