That's a straw man if I ever saw one.

No, if changes to society should benefit everyone not just the laptop class of workers.

Do you call every request for equality as a straw man?

Name 1 major employment shift that rolled out to everyone, across all industries, across all modes of work, across all tiers of employees, and across all geographic areas regardless of socioeconomic status — simultaneously.

We couldn’t even do it during a global pandemic, deeming all sorts of people “essential” without meaningful compensation.

Your assertion is not based in any feasible reality, at least in America.

The tone of this comment makes it sounds like the poster thinks the parent poster should have refrained from posting their comment. As if the point is invalid because of these facts. But how could one get that to change unless they suggest alternatives?

"we must make life hard for everyone, so no one benefits" "market dynamics don't exist, a counsel must decide on all wages"

If anything, it’s a whataboutism, but still an interesting question to consider. What do you think about offering better compensation to in-person service employees?
