Construction companies should pay bricklayers in bricks and mortar

Uber should pay drivers in gas

Restaurants should pay chefs in raw ingredients

This is a radical idea, but maybe employers should be responsible for providing the supplies and tools their employees need to do their jobs? And the employees can just get money in return for their labor?

employees can just get money

There's your problem, right there, money is dangerous, can't let the rabble have money - they might get too much and then they'd have power, power to disrupt the people who have money...
