What is you point? Proof of work is unrelated. Nobody want to be paid too much for doing something unproductive. What we want is to be paid a livable wage for working 8 hours. If the work we are doing is not worth that, then the position should not exist. If I you want me to spend 8 hours a day picking rocks then it's clearly important. Because if it wasn't I could do it every other day or less. The task being simple does not mean that the task is not important And the higher ups are the ones that make way to much money for how little they produce. Not the bottom ones that do all the work

And I'm supposed to pay for you to live even if you do work that is not valuable to me?

Again. If the work you want me to do is do important that I have to work 8hs 5 days, theb clearly it's important. And I should be able to live doing that. If it's not that important then it should not be all day or not every day.

This is a retarded way to measure the value of work.

Why is that?

Think about it. Imagine hiring someone and telling them "we can offer x. I know you can't leave off of this but we still want youto work for us".. that.. does not make sense. Why would they take this? The only reason is that they don't have a choice. Which is why it's wrong. All of it
