Personally I would say a tube driver is just as entitled to a decent life as an average software developer but I realize this may be the wrong audience for that

  Depends on what you mean by 'entitled'? In an ideal world we'd all have ponies, but in reality there's still scarcity so we have to ration resources one way or another. (And then whatever rationing system we use interacts with human incentives and lots of other systems.)

    > Depends on what you mean by 'entitled'? I'm not sure it does. I can't think of a reasonable definition whereby I consider an average software developer to be more entitled to a decent life than a tube driver.

      The definition that has one 'entitled' to whatever one can get in a voluntary exchange of goods and services?
