Congressional Democrats reveal that working Americans are paying the price for Trump's $1.5 trillion military funding, with gas prices soaring and families struggling to afford essentials. Are Republicans prioritizing war over the well-being of American families?
I think her point was that under scarcity prices will go up, if you no longer have the machinery to supply the demand then you might have to pay extra to get priority, I don’t believe the workers will be paid a penny more but the company exploiting them might charge the client more and pocket the difference.
Of course it’s not a perfect comparison in that depending on the demand (whether they can wait to dig until it’s cheaper for example) or the supply (whether there’s lots of unemployed people desperate for money to fill in the need), these factors are fixed in the actual situation the post is about (fossil fuels being in limited supply and in high demand due to the war).
If everyone’s excavators are broken it’s going to cost more for everyone.
People pay more for stuff to get done faster, it’s not always cheaper in the end. It’s just faster and easier, why do you think it’s cheaper?
Physical labour is dirt cheap, sue it’s gonna take 10x as long, but it’s still cheaper than the excavator.
