If you absolutely must get paid in Ferraris, you can go ahead and reject any job offers which don't offer them. However, the market of labor which must be compensated with Ferraris is non-existent, so employers don't have to offer this benefit to compete for talent. Everyone has a COL however, so employers do need to adjust for it to attract employees in a given location.

I remember taking an operating systems class where the professor commented that Unix pipes added overhead because they create extra copies of the piped data. iirc, the kernel has to copy the data from the first process's memory into the kernel's memory and then copy it back into the second process's memory. I wonder what speedups we could see by bundling commonly used pipelines into a single process so the next task in the pipeline can directly read the input data from memory.

Of course, it's not The Unix Way to do this, but if it's the performance bottleneck in your application, maybe it's worth it.
