Some people who are for unions and against being able to pay people based on their competence instead of seniority say "I really don’t care to play 'who deserves a minimum quality of life'."

Reality doesn’t care whether you care to play or not.

There’s a limited amount of resources, you can’t hire everyone on Earth, you can’t give everyone an unlimited salary. Everything past that you’re making decisions as to who gets what.

And by the way, if you make enough poor decisions eventually everyone loses their jobs.
