Higher pay also creates more inclusive societies -- societies, btw, that pay for the RtW and EoD policies in less progressive states.
I'm honestly a moderate on this issue. My main point was more that I find this new trend of "quitting work to make a contemptuous social statement" repugnant and, we are far, far less tolerate down of such behavior down in Dixie.
At the moment, there are no other options. As long as power is dramatically unequal and government sides with business interests, the only way to show how disgusting this is is quiet quitting. It's a form of boycott, and as American as proverbial apple pie.
