“Location-Based Pay” – Who are we to complain?

I don't have a boat, my friends who do have one bill based on what it costs to maintain it. Do they tell the HR person or clients "I have a boat I need to maintain," never, as that just gives away leverage, but they only seek out roles that facilitate their life.

The language itself, "should I get paid" assumes a parental allowance relationship and we should get out of the habit of using it. "Get paid" is a day-labourers colloquialism. The form of the phrase itself defines you as the passive subject.

Bill for work, draw a salary, agree to compensation, accept consideration, negotiate a package, earn bonuses, settle invoices, sell services (not time), sell equity - do not "get paid" by anyone. It's a psychological impediment that keeps people poor.

Structural impediments keep people poor. Not internal monologues.

Internal monolouges enable structural inequalities and broken paradigmes. Memetic constructs form the basis for all societal constructs, so I think maybe you are under selling the importance of thoughts in this case.

Your first sentence is quite a claim. Do you have evidence that this is what enables structural inequalities and broken paradigms? Maybe it would be more reasonable to say such internal monologues help perpetuate these things. It seems to me that the structural inequality comes from first.

Internal monologues absolutely keep people poor. Failure to effectively negotiate is nearly 100% about internal monologues, particularly once the time has come for negotiation.

Perhaps. Wouldn't you agree that internal monologues often reinforce structural impediments, though? I.e. "I couldn't possibly do ACTION, I'm just an ADJECTIVE NOUN".

Penniless immigrants come to the US and within one (at most 2) generations become the 1% exactly because they DON'T think the way you do.

Mindset is everything.
