This is a very moral framing, maybe even a Christian-adjacent one, which I don’t think is helpful. Historical materialism, which other commenters are working from, is an amoral framing.
Speaking of morality & philosophy, here’s prof. Hans-Georg Moeller:
People read FT for line go up, so worker demands ought to be relevant.
$81,000 × 75% × 25,000 ≈ 1.5 billion
That’s just base rate. About a third of them make ~150% more. So they want over two billion more per year total.
