Reply #7: I'm asking you to provide other perspectives.

Why should an ATC get an investment banker's wages, and is that the actual case?

Do I think jobs done better, faster, and safer, by computers and robots, should be paid at the same rate as the cost for computers and robots?

That I am.

Heck, most investment bankers are useless (IMSHO) at this point, as computers are faster, and smarter. Unskilled labor is hanging on because automation isn't cheap, but in my lifetime, I expect that to vanish as well.

Spar with me, make me look like an idiot, I don't care.... actually, I do, come to think of it, because I want to learn other perspectives.

I bump labor threads, and discuss this, because I started as child laborer at a sewing operation, and watched a HUGE shift in my lifetime from unskilled labor to technocracy. I got more and more technical, more and more skilled, and wound up in a good place, but folks who wanted to be paid for work that was replaced by new machines did not.
