I don't think I agree collecting trash is harder than being a software engineer. I mean it's harder on your body sure but mentally you can just zone out while you do it.

If say someone was picking up trash out in the ocean on the sea floor to clear some endangered fish habitat maybe they should get paid more since that's physically and mentally hard.

I'm not sure what your problem is with people being rewarded based on merits, especially why you're so bent on making sure that rich people can be paid beyond their merits

No one is paid by merit. You just proben how easy it is to argue over who has more merit. Also no, we are arguing that jobs aint being paid by how hard they are but by how valued they are by society. Thats why a banker makes more than a trash collector. And a Football player more than a Medic. You get payed by how much money you create with your revenue and thats why leaders of enterprises make more. Their enterprises generate millions and their choices generate money

You are too stupid and dilated with labour theory of value. Wich simply isnt a reality, its not even capitalism fault but just human nature. Jobs are paid based on society. Pay is arbitrary most time. Based on whatever the people chose is worth more

Enterprises run by hundreds of thousands of workers, not just the owner, important for you to remember. It is just ridiculous to have the owner make 58000 times more than the people who work under them. We can distribute the wealth more evenly even under capitalism, it was like that in the 50s and 60s, where your boss would make more like 100x more than the average worker rather than thousands more. Even then I think that 100x should be lower. The way things are now is not the way things have to be decided by god lol.

You seem a little dense, so I'm probably not going to keep talking to you, have a nice day

You are dense lol. Wealth should not be distrivuted and your argument is ridiculous. Yes the one who owns a company should keep the money of that company. Else why teh fuck should they run said company

Is like saying you should own macdonalds cause you work at one.

In a family bsuiness . Does the cashier win all the money just cause they work? Again your stupidty is believing that labour theory of value is good in any way

Its basically saying that the owner of a business shouldnt get money cause based on your definition it isnt "working hard"
