Who ends up paying for the decision to pay a meta engineer x, but the climate change engineer x/5?

It’s the engineer who picks the climate change job instead.

Essentially what you’re saying is that due to society not being willing to pay competitively, engineers should take the kick to the nuts and be paid peanuts to make up for societies bad decisions.

Sounds like a pretty stupid decision, frankly.




Sure the engineer ends up losing out. Thankfully, some people put values over personal profit.


It sounds more like someone is taking advantage of people, using nominative idealism to do so.
