New York Times: "'Going Galt': Everyone's doing it

[Extrication]

1. Galt went on strike after “Twentieth Century Motor” decided to pay everyone according to their need. Is there such a company in todays America? I certainly haven’t heard.

I live in Australia, many companies have paid paternity and maternity leave which amounts the workers being paid more per hour worked according to their need. Here in Australia massive welfare payments (baby bonus, child endowment, paid maternity leave) are given to people that have children. ie. payment according to need. Many of the people that receive these payments do not even work at all.

My whole point there, as I remember it, had to do with the scale of the evil producers are faced with. You’re ignoring precisely that aspect of the two examples.
