I'm afraid there is no choice but to pay everyone the same regardless of how hard they work or what they do or what the preparation had been. Yes, and furloughed workers who, during the period of riotous consumption of fossil fuels, earned fabulous salaries for getting a larger slice of the pie for their employers, should get the same pay as everyone else. But, it isn't really pay, is it? It's a license to consume real material wealth, which except for land, water, and embodied human effort, is measured in emergy units. There is just one proviso: Each person may choose to replace only himself by reproduction or not to reproduce. Violators will have their rights sharply curtailed. To do the right thing, probably, it will be necessary to save liberals and conservatives from themselves.
Remember, it's not the freeloaders who are eating your lunch; it's the billionaires.
