And this is where we discover that the most important jobs that keep society running pay the least.

They pay the least because you don't need qualifications to do them, and supply of non-qualified people >>> demand. Simple economics.

The article here, and the discussion above, is a situation where clearly the demand is high but the supply is low.

Then pay more. As a white collar worker I'm not offended that some blue collar workers make more than me. And if I have to pay more for food so we actually have a country, with people who care for each other, and not just a giant economic zone with the disappointing selfish behavior we've observed in this crisis, that's fine with me too.
