Invoking psychological egoism here is really using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. I don&#x27;t think that she necessarily made the post for narrowly self-interested reasons. Even if you hold to it as a dogma that all acts are ultimately in some sense self-directed, I&#x27;m sure you&#x27;re still capable of making the distinction between intentions that are entirely cynical and self-serving and those which are genuinely directed towards helping others or exposing the truth (even if these ends are ultimately &quot;selfish&quot; too).<p>&gt;At least her digital begging seems to be working out, but certainly this wont convince the CEO to pay these entry level folks San Francisco living wages.<p>If enough people start complaining, things change. There&#x27;s a whole lot of history of this happening with regard to working conditions.
