$15? $25? $0 because the children yearn for the mines?

A lot of us can barely afford to live in driving distance of work

When interviewing, and when we talk wage, I mention the cost of me working from home vs working in the office: the differential in rent close to the office, pro-rated over the week. And a little on top. More if the train doesn't go there and I need to buy and use a car.

I understand that a portion of their wage is for my talent and another portion is for being able to see my fat ass in a chair and feel better about yourself. You pay for that, you creep, and it's separate.

I think it needs to scale with rent. Yeeeah.
