Comment on Kentucky's largest school district had to cancel class for two days so it could overhaul a 'disastrous' new bus system that left kids on buses until 10 p.m.

I mean… if nobody wants to do a job for the pay allotted, then the pay is by definition too low. You can make other changes that bring the acceptable pay range down (make kids not be assholes or something idk) but in the end it’s always about the pay at the end of the day.

That’s true. But the pay isn’t “low”, as such. Just still unacceptable

  Seems like arguing semantics. “Low” is relative. There are people who argue that living in minimum wage is 100% possible by oneself. People perform truly shit jobs that greatly endanger their lives simply because the pay is right.
  
  Capitalists want a market economy right until the moment labor is treated the same way.

  Semantics. If not enough people will do it then the pay is too low. Pay me a million dollars and I would move there and drive a bus.
