″ I think it’s often not so easy for people to just leave their job and find another, especially if they have children to take care of. ”
Yes, elasticity isn’t absolute, but in the long run it matters a lot. In the extreme, you can walk out and be jobless rather than accepting bad conditions. That alone puts a cap on how bad conditions can be, although perhaps some risks can be hard to estimate.
″ Do you care about others or their wellbeing for their own sake at all for any other reason? ”
Yes, if I have positive personal relationships with them or they have earned it. However, I also do the negative version (revenge), and in many cases I find that more motivating. So there’s no benevolence bias on my end. I have yet to find a philosophical reason why I should have one.
Thanks for the interesting discussion, I’ll end it at this point.
