they definently shouldn't of paid for two college tuitions but technically they only perform the job of one teacher. Also, they only have to feed, clothes, and house one person. I'm really not trying to be an asshole and am just playing devil's advocate. Consistency should be key here though. Two tuitions... two salaries.

If they had to get 2 salaries they simply wouldn't get hired. They can only really do 1 persons worth of work at a time. It sucks but thats the way it goes.

Aka, the fuck people with disability method of thinking.

1 persons worth of work

But they're not. They're 2 people. Who are... Conjoined. That's what it means.

It sucks but thats the way it goes.

... That's just how you think about it.

You're also just discovering the hardship people with disability face and how often they accept unfair conditions because of the lack of opportunity they face, the same happens for many vulnerable people. Have you ever wondered why illegal Mexicans do insanely hard labour for unfair pay?

Because they have no other choice in an exploitative system.

You're so close to experience an emancipation moment. I think that is fascinating.

But they only do the work that is equal to one person. Because they are conjoined they aren't the equivalent of 2 teachers, but rather one. Jeez, your ability to read is lower than my chance of getting a girlfriend

But they're not one person.

They're two people. And they're doing the work, of two people, because, they're both there doing the work.

Imagine you and your work mate, you have two salaries.

If I put a jumper on you, so you can't move away from each other. And I glue it on real good so you're stuck like that.

Is it ok to half your pay? Or maybe, fire you! That's be fine, right? That's so good, that's so good until you realise that's real. And that is bad for you. And now you can't pay your bills and your lifestyle is fucked and it's not your fault you didn't ask for the jumper it's just how it is....

Welcome to the bane of the disability, where the loser of the predatory assholery, is now YOU.

Then you'd care.

So I suggest, we employ empathy. And we decide that actually, they are two people. And they're both working. Which is backed up, by being true.

my chance of getting a girlfriend

Exploitation is unattractive.

And they're doing the work, of two people,

This would make sense in a different line of work. But they're 5th grade teachers. They're teaching one class. That is the job of one person.

But they're not, one person. Understand?

They're two people. Doing the job, who are joined.

Conceptually, I need you to understand, that's two people, who are working.

And that our concepts of fair pay,

Apply to both of them.

What you're saying, is that if I take two fifth grade teachers.... And put a big jumper on them and don't let them take them off...

I can half their pay.

That, is Stephen King levels of dystopia.

I suggest, that we decide, that everyone, deserves fair pay.

And that's even, if they're not as productive, as you want. Fair work, fair pay. For everyone.

Ok, so what if the school decided they can pay a second salary, but the twins have to work in separate classrooms? Would this be a fair compromise?

u/Mike_Kermin 1d ago

Nah, I'm done.

You guys have something wrong with you.

but the twins have to work in separate classrooms? Would this be a fair compromise?

Something wrong in your brain, to post that. Imagine being that hateful, towards conjoined twins.

Yeah yeah, you win the thread, good job you.

I can't argue against that. Just, don't be conjoined, why didn't they ever think of that? I see it your way now mate.

Sort yourself out. Sick in the head.
