What's unfortunate is when people don't understand that everyone, even mentally disabled persons, deserves a living wage at minimum.
No one is paid based on the actual "value" they provide to a company. If that were the case, CEOs would be paid a fraction of what they're currently paid, and the lowest paid workers would make multiple times more than what they currently make.
I agree CEO compensation is really messed up but I don’t thinks it’s really relevant. A company gets to decide how much they value labour and if someone’s work isn’t enough to justify paying them they simply won’t have a job. I know it’s awful to pay less than a living wage but it’s important to remember these people are almost universally living with their family or in group homes. The options are really only either they don’t work or they work with a company paying less than minimum wage. Obviously the government subsidizing the wages is an option but I’m not sure if that’s the best use of resources. Would it not make more sense to directly subsidize families and group homes based on economic need.
I agree but why would a company employ people with learning disabilities when they could employ people without learning disabilities and pay them the same amount. Think there is a bigger underlying issue. Governments should incentivize employing these people so it becomes a non issue.
What's unfortunate is that you don't believe that the government should fully cover all the needs of disabled people and their "job" is not for money, but to become a part of a collective, bring some value for the community and feel alive. They shouldn't need any salary, just the possibility to be useful and helpful to others.
Yeah dude CEOs just trick other capitalist out of their money. The most successful companies just toss their people into a room and make whatever they want and do whatever they do.
