Getting paid to go to lectures about books is a "human right" now?
Because being treated inequally, deprived of things people around you take for granted, can damage oneself seriously.
Otherwise drama.
For me they are two different things. Although having different salaries/compensation for different kinds of jobs is perfectly normal and is hidden from people's view by the privacy that is applied to how much people make..... the workplace perks like free lunch and bus are totally visible (how could they not be?) and create a social divide between people that once accentuates their grief/delusions/issues and contributes to make people feel "different" in the human level.
Sorry, but not everyone's work is worth the same. It isn't fair or equal, and it shouldn't be.
