On: Blue-collar wages are surging. Can it last?

[andrewjl]

If you see two loaves in a store that are basically the same kind, you normally won't think too hard about which one you pick. As mechanical and indifferent as some hiring processes are, they don't approach that level of indifference.

Okay, that's maybe true. (Although I'd say if they're sufficiently similar I'd probably just base it on price rather than being indifferent.)

But you've added the qualifiers 'in a store' and 'basically the same kind', and it's still not really describing fungibility, is it?
