[QUOTE="rickyb, post: 4978647, member: 56035"] part of the problem with wages is housing costs. i looked at vancouver and toronto median lawyer wage and it was over 100k. who knows how many hours they work. i asked my lawyer a while back how much money he was going to make doing his practice from home, think it was his 2nd year doing it and he told me it was 100k but this was in vancouver where a house was close to a million at the time. and who knows how many hours he worked. then you have the other costs like healthcare which im not sure what that works out to up here...i pay for medicine which my work doesnt cover cuz im casual, dental, eye check up, car insurance, etc. yes when you put it that way i believe you did. i watched a richard wolff video on hegel, he was talking about dialetical materialism and he says most marxists believe the materialism shapes ideas more so than the other way around, but they both shape each other. im going to look up cornel west too. i like philosophy.
