one touches people's emotions, the other doesn't.

Your argument doesn't take into account power dynamics. When negotiating price, each side comes to the table with bargaining power. If bargaining power is sufficiently uneven then you really can't claim they'll come to a fair agreement.

When an amazon warehouse worker has to pee in bottles to meet a quota do you think the worker and amazon came to a fair agreement? Or perhaps amazon had more bargaining power.

Worth and value are inherently subjective. Price is an attempt to assign an objective value to something subjective. It kinda/sorta works, but it also kinda doesn't.

Let's imagine there is no minimum wage in America. Now let's say that workers in America demand $10/hour and African workers ask for $2/hour for the exact same job. What's the correct value for that labor? It's a non-sensical question.

You could say it's the minimum value at $2. But then some other worker asks for $1. Did you make a mistake? Was it not actually worth $2 the whole time?

We are not payed what we are worth.

We are payed what the company can get away with.

It’s about power, not value. Value is much less of a factor than people like to think.

Same goes for people who are payed a lot (like CEOs). Sure they have impact on the organization, but they also have power.

How much lower can Blizzard go? Fans have been disappointed in Blizzard for awhile but now not only are fans pissed off but employees are pissed off.
