Paid the lowest they can afford to pay you for your skillset, or basically, what you can negotiate.
Divorcing pay from performance and distorting cause and effect IS dangerous... but emotions have been overriding good sense for some time, so

what?
what does this even mean?Divorcing pay from performance and distorting cause and effect IS dangerous... but emotions have been overriding good sense for some time, so
It means you get paid what you bring to the table not on some pseudo-liberal feel good nonsense emotions about what you "think" you deserve.
If you are an unproductive bum, you deserve to rot in these streets.
You really need to grow up at some point in your life.
I am....currently sitting in my office.
Well educated network engineer dropping knowledge for free in the IT thread in the forum.
I can write free code for you and design an entire company's network.....
You get paid for what you bring to the table.
You will not find sympathy for bums around these parts.
What you do or dont do in your personal life is of no interest to me because its not verifiable...what is verifiable are your thoughtless, childish, and ignorant posts that relentlessly flood the coli with on the daily. You literally act like a child.
What you posted earlier is quantitatively and economically illiterate, and has no place in a decent discussion. As you do with every post, you're trying to degrade the conversation with your dumb ass 'please look at me' bids for attention. I find your act barely tolerable generally, but this is a somewhat serious forum so either grow up or take your trolling bullsht to a topic more on your level.
You hate the truth and also people who do not tow the liberal line of thinking.
A case can be made the only one spreading bullshyt around here is you.
I have helped coli members with their IT college -level homeworks...what the fukk have you done for people on this site than spread your "holier than thou" bullshyt.
You are very ignorant and will not survive in any high level corporate job because you refuse to think outside the box and only spew safe shyt.
I see you...
except that isn't how the real world works currently.
In America so far that's what it is.
In Europe and most socialist shyt holes it's the exact opposite.
America is not a meritocracy. You can't find any empirical data that would support your argument.
If I am to accept your premise then it would mean the article is false then?
If you believe the article to be true then...It means in America MOST people are paid based on merits.
Now we can argue on dollar values later but underlining principle does not change.
