I disagree with this. Why do you believe they are entitled it in any region?
Some jobs just don't pay well and some cities are more expensive.
It's not even stemming from a corrupt system. It's just nature. Not all things are equal, and sometimes, somewhere, being the top of the ladder isn't so far from the bottom. But sometimes, being at the bottom really sucks.
Living in Saskatchewan definitely cheaper than if you lived in Point Grey, North Shore, London, New York or Coal Harbour.
Why should a janitor be entitled to a wage that supports him living wherever he chooses? It's a simple reality that he is priced out of some regions. It's not an issue of corruption.
It's like being a house cat. In a person's house, they have cute skills that gets them food.
As an alley cat, it would have to rummage through garbage. It's fairly suitable to this.
In the savannah, it wouldn't last 10 days. It neither has the cunning, fortitude size or skills.
It's not fair, but that cat isn't entitled to a damn thing. Don't pretend that it is.
I have nothing against your argument as a whole, i find the ever growing disparity a sure tell of a broken system, but I just thought I should nip bad logic in the bud before it spirals out of control.
