      $20 was worth more 20 years ago, and I had a 1-room apartment. She was making ~$10/hr. Fair pay for cleaning work in 2003, with my supplies.

      tl:dr; Get off your fucking high horse.

      I stand with you, I’m glad you have the money to pay her well. Would you suggest that fella should clean his apartment himself and then the woman next door is also not making those 20 bucks?

          I know what you mean, you are right, but that guy is probably paying max he can and they found an arrangement. She’s also probably not 1000% dependent on the money so she could also refuse and take a different gig or negotiate.

          As I said, I’m totally with you, the work should get paid what it’s worth and people should not be cheap about it, I’m just saying consider taking in more contextual information before you call out those enslaving junky exploiting fellas.
