I still don't like this particular bible story.
You just have to imagine the landowner using this method of payment the next day and always after that. The needs are of course still the same. But if the workers can get that pay with a tiny fraction of toil you can imagine what happens.

And it is not a very good story about solidarity in my eyes:
Am I not free to do as I wish with my own money?

For that line alone I didn't like it when I was young and I still don't.
