someone with 8 million dollars owns almost 500 years of other people’s time at minimum wage. there is no fair way for that to happen. that person did not “earn” 500 years of someone else’s work.
my point here is that money is time, money is power, and our economy creates enormous disparities of power.
Even if money is tied to “usefulness” (somehow), one would need a pretty good argument to try and posit that one person is as “useful” as 500 other people.
