... That's only true, if one of them is working

Why isn't this getting through your head? They teach one class, they are effectively one teacher. Because they aren't as efficient as two TEACHERS, TEACHING SEPERATE CLASSES, they don't get the double salary.

I think our society is capable of paying conjoined twins fairly. 

But if we pay them double for one job, something of someone else has to be cut to compensate for that pay

They're two people. They're both teaching.

I don't care how many classes it is. They're both at work.

Two pays.

someone else has to be cut

I think our society can probably support conjoined twins being paid fairly.

as efficient

Can I half your pay?

Once again, not denying that they are 2 people. But they are only one worker, and get that pay.

they are only one worker

Ok.

That's not true. They are two people. And they are both working.

That's two workers.

I worded it poorly, and that's my mistake, perhaps it's better to say that they on par with a single worker

u/Mike_Kermin 1d ago

They're not. It's two people. Who are joined.

You can't have two people, who are a single worker, unless one isn't working.

On average, a part time teacher teaches less classes than a full time teacher. Do you propose that they make the same amount as a full time teacher since they both work?

No, that's stupid.

You're not going to be able to manipulate me into accepting your "half a job" thing. Each of them aren't half working.

1 hour of work, 1 hour of pay, per person.

1 hour of work, 1 hour of pay, per person.

Teachers are salaried, not paid hourly (although I'm unsure about the twins' situation). They receive a single salary for the work they do, and since they aren't doing the work of two teachers, they don't get double the pay. While they collaborate, they complete one job together, not the equivalent of two separate roles.

I'm sure you can count.

I'll accept your idea, when one of them can stay home.

Jesus fucking Christ you are dumb. Their work is like a group project. One goal, with multiple people working on it. They get one grade (which represents the salaray) for the collective work, based on how well they did on the project. They both worked on a single thing.

u/Mike_Kermin 1d ago

No, it's not collective. No other teachers are paid that way.

Two people, two jobs, two pays.

u/Germisstuck 1d ago

Why is it not collective? They don't have two jobs, they can't have two jobs at the same time

Yeah.... Well, the other sister can't go home. That's beyond the pale.

Well done.
