Though Provoking Post #003 - Zootopia - Equal Pay

Another Though Provoking Post,
This is the second thought provoking post for Zootopia, There will be just one more after this which will conclude this little series of posts

So lets begin with the Thought Provoking Post (MINOR SPOILERS)

Equal Pay

It is a problem we face in our world, Where people get payed different amounts due to race or gender, But in comparison to the world of Zootopia it is nothing.

Imagine a world where struggle to obtain equal pay is not only caused by differences in gender or ethnicity, But instead was also disrupted by differences in species and living wage to meet the standard of living. 

Sadly we don't have much information on how the population of zootopia deal with this problem, Other than the fact the city shares a common currency,

(Minor Spoiler Warning :This spoiler doesn't take anything away from the main story though it reveals what happens in a couple scenes of the movie.)

As our Nick Wildes buys a "Jumbo Pop" (Large Popsicle Ice-cream) from a store that serves very large mammals for $15 

He then melts down the "Jumbo Pop" to make smaller Popsicle Ice-Cream which he then sells to the Lemmings in another district of the city for $2 each. 

Now In terms of the size of the product these consumers are recieving, The "Jumbo Pop" would be considered a large popsicle for even the large mammals (seen in the store, elephants/hippos). 

And the melted down miniture versions "The Pawpsicle" are the size of the lemmings head, 

So in this regard we can consider that each mammal is receiving a large product for their money. 

So lets say you are the CEO of a large company "The Lemming Brothers Bank", you hire quite the number of bankers and you give them an entry wage of $10 per hour(for example) all the staff do a very similar job and they all get paid fairly, One day to increase their banks reach they start diversifying their bankers, They hire an elephant to work as a banker in the company, He/She works the same job as the other Lemmings and earn the same entry wage as any other lemming employee $10 per hour. 

Being a lemming $10 per hour is quite the amount of money because it only costs you 12 minutes of work to get quite a large popsicle and we can also assume food at their portion size would obviously cheaper then anything the elephant could get. 

Now for the Elephant $10 per hour isn't much and it costs him/her 90 minutes of work to get a jumbo pop. though of course one could argue that he might just multiple "Pawpsicle's" to satisfy his hunger for ice cream ( Though keep in mind a "Jumbo Pop" is worth quite the number of "Pawpsicle's", Nick and Finnick were seen making about 160+ "Pawpsicle's, But it is possible that all 160+ Pawpsicle is made from multiple "Jumbo Pops" scammed from multiple locations)

Ok so back on topic, Would it be fair to give this elephant staff more money for the same work the lemming's do? How would you solve this problem where all/most of the staff are happy with the outcome? 

So this week's thought provoking post is quite the long read, Though if you got through it good job, Alot to think about here. Maybe you already have a solution in your head, 

Have a good rest of the week,
