Well you could also ask if that’s fair. People are just born with more or less talent or skill. Nothing they can do about it. Should they be rewarded for that? Or saying it the opposite way: should people be punished for something they can’t change?
Life is never fair. not for humans and not for any living being.
If you try to make it fair by paying the person with lower skill same as skilled person, the skilled person won’t feel the need to use their skills anymore.
To make it fair you need a magic mirror that print statistics about each person (skill level, talent level, physical strength) and use these numbers to decide who used all their abilities and who pretend to be dumb to avoid using their brain/body
I think people who are naturally better at things should can and will always be rewarded for that; we make up for the discrepancy by making sure it’s not bloody torturous to live on a minimum wage job, thay there are support systems for the disabled, unemployed, and the simply unintelligent.
Reading about 1950s America it was clear that people were so comfortable that working in minimum wage jobs largrly didn’t bother them. If a capitalist country can achieve that, a well-organised country can achieve even better.

True I’m not saying it’d be the best option or anything. Just something to think about. Should live be fair or not? Also, it’s not black and white.
That’s if you force people to work. If you let them choose freely, most will align with their skills because it is the most rewarding.

Very true. That’s a way to deal with it for sure. Social safety nets are an important part of developed civilisation.
The capitalist country achieved that to convince people of capitalism. It was highly motivated.
Capitalism =/= People getting reimbursed for work. Capitalism =/= the existence of a monetary system
