    Construction companies should pay bricklayers in bricks and mortar

    Uber should pay drivers in gas

    Restaurants should pay chefs in raw ingredients

    This is a radical idea, but maybe employers should be responsible for providing the supplies and tools their employees need to do their jobs? And the employees can just get money in return for their labor?

        Are arse reamings something they buy and sell, or a form of currency for ceo’s? What about female CEOs? (not that its a huge problem-- maybe those few old-guard female ceos just pay you in money).

      employees can just get money

      There’s your problem, right there, money is dangerous, can’t let the rabble have money - they might get too much and then they’d have power, power to disrupt the people who have money…
