You can do a background check. That’s not where the asymmetry is, though. The pandemic checks have showed that the asymmetry can be flipped but then almost everyone working low-tier (flipping burgers) will quit his work. The Fed has then decided to re-enslave these people. Someone gotta take the garbage.


The pandemic was an exigency though.

And the changes were the part of a system wide (civilization wide ?) response.

Someone has to take the garbage, and be paid for it.

If the job isn’t attracting workers, than by market logic the pay should be increased.

If the pay is being kept artificially low though, then there is inefficiency in the system.

What are you talking about? real (ie. inflation adjusted) wages have gone up more for the lowest quartile of americans[1]. Is paying people more to get them to work "re-enslavement" now?
