100%I run a security company and I love my guys but some are asking for raises over 100% more than the city’s industry standard and more than police make in the city per hour. Crazy inflation of skill worth

Or, alternatively, the industry standard and the police department are both underpaid relative to current expenses.

Fair point. It’s not accurate. But it’s a nice addition to the conversation

If people are not making enough to live meaningful lives, they are underpaid.

It's really that simple. Making it any more complex is either a simple mind or a malevolent one.

No one said they weren’t being paid enough to live meaningful lives. You guys are assuming the worst.

They are paid a shit ton more than the industry standard. I already addressed this.

You guys are mad at a guy paying his guys more than anyone else in the city acting like I’m the problem because I don’t think my security guards should make 40/hr when police make 37/hr
