An hour spent commuting is 1/16th of your daily life, and that hour is by far the biggest risk to your life every day. You should be getting triple pay to ameliorate the hazard risk it represents.

    The company is probably going to charge their customers even more for the work you do in your working time.

    Someone already pays that money. The workers just don’t receive it.

    If everybody was self-employed, those are the prices that would be paid.

      I agree up to the extent of the numbers. I think $50/hr is feasible if we make drastic changes to our economy. $150/hr simply cannot work with the country’s current number of workers and overall productivity.
