imagine if employers had to pay for commute time. they'd figure out really fuckin fast how many jobs can be done remotely.

@sayyid_qishta I've been thinking about the concept of paying for what it actually costs people to work. (as in increase where necessary etc).

So are you disabled? You get paid more.
Do you need to commute? You get paid more.
etc etc etc. (It's not a compelte thought for fairly obvious reasons, so the examples are very vague and general)

@maloki @sayyid_qishta that would be an ideal scenario but sadly my first thought is that it would decrease their chances of getting the job, because we all know most businesses only care about the bottom line and would be less likely to employ staff who are going to cost them more :( Its dire, and I wish it wasn't so.

Hi, vague incomplete thought means there's details missing.

Further replies specified "not under capitalism", well rather in communist orgs or co-ops etc.

Instead of being defeatist about it in our, albeit short, conversation, look for opportunities where it's possible, or you know just listen.

@maloki @sayyid_qishta I don’t think there’s any need for that tone in your reply, but this isn’t Twitter so I’m not going to argue with you nor double down on my opinion. Which is all it is.

@JaxVent thank you for the tone policing. Highly appreciate it. I've only been here for 6 years, I'm pretty aware this isn't Twitter. Tywm.
