I literally spent three entire years telling the upper management of warehousing company I worked for that they need to finish their sentence when they kept saying "we can't find anyone willing to work floor jobs" and add "for the money we're paying them".

I really wonder if they've managed to get that poo poo through their skulls yet. Like, a 5% increase in entry pay wages would've solved 90% of their staffing issues with very little impact on margins and also would've done wonders for their on-time, in-full and customer satisfaction KPI's they kept insisting were the most important ones and which my team and I had to spend so much goddamn time investigating and writing explanations for as to why we didn't meet the targets every drat quarter so they could pass on that bullshit to the customers.

it's not exactly a simple issue because each of the vaccines use dozens of different patented processes and tech items, none of the vaccines production processes are solely held by a single company. some of the patents in question are held by overseas companies so, not really but that's what the WTO has some authority over. also it's likely some of the individual patent holders won't want to go along with this and will sue to hold it up but the US and the WTO saying they'll back waiving those patent protections is a good start. probably everyone will end up getting paid off anyway.

e: alternatively (they won't do this but)

In an article about Gravity Payments:

quote:

What to Pay

Can't pay each of your employees $70,000 per year? These three entrepreneurs prove there's more than one way to attract top talent.


*snip a couple of relatively unremarkable stories, then we get to:*


quote:

Outsource it all.

Limitless Academy

Andrew Alexander Founder, Limitless Academy, Scottsdale, Arizona

"I pay my people $4 per hour. No, that's not a typo," says Alexander. "My most recent hire is named Mary, and she lives in the Philippines, which annoys a lot of my American friends struggling to get work. This is becoming the new norm for startup entrepreneurs. With limited funding, it's important to get the most as we can out of every dollar.

"But this goes beyond the money. I've been working with Mary since last September, and she's the hardest-working person I've ever seen. She rotates her sleep schedule around U.S. time, often working in the wee hours of the night.

"While many people think $4 is not a lot, this is way more than the going rate in other areas of the world. I am happy with their results, my customers are more happy, and she is happy because she is making more money than all of her friends."

^ ^ ^ In very broad strokes, yes, but their specifics are almost all completely incorrect on every level and it distracts from the actual problem(s), which was the entire goal.
