    To be sure it’s apples to oranges imo. But, I think, an analogy can be drawn.

    Maybe a more accurate way to think about it is that the parking space is worth more to the owner of that company than I am to my current boss at 22.50 us dollars per hour.

    And that feels more like apples to apples.

      But only because there is an actual limited and finite number of parking spots in any given area… unfortunately the less specialized a position is the greater number of people there are to take it… and with 8+ billion people on the earth odds are good you can be relatively easily replaced even at higher skill level jobs…

      And FTR I am not justifying the poor wages of the working class (i.e. almost everyone who isn’t a boomer or a “rich” person)… but this comparison is a little foolish and fails at making the point the OP wanted to make… we’re stuck in Capitalism. Supply and demand. There can be no more parking spaces in certain places but we’re constantly making new people…
