What if you think all of the available offers are unfair but you don’t have the means to start your own business?

Then the offers are fair and your assessment of your labor value is disproven by the market rate.

That’s one definition of fairness (market rate.)

There are many other definitions of fairness as well.

This comes back to the thread we’re discussing. What a fair wage means is a philosophical and moral question. Not just a math problem.

If someone inherits a business and earns higher wages than their workers is that fair? What did they do to earn that?

If the market rate is so fair why does the minimum wage and child labor laws exist?

Hey, that 8 year old was willing to work in the asbestos factory, that’s just fair market value!
