Lets take that thought experiment further, would Jeff Bezos even waste the time in bending down to pick up the $20 since it is worth so little? The act of bending down, the minuscule risk of falling over, possibly scraping a knee, possibly wasting more time trying to get back up, etc. Is the $20 worth the potential hassle of picking it up?
For me: without a hesitation. It's roughtly 130 times my average 5 second earnings.
For Jeff: probably a net loss.
- nashashmi 8y agoI hate such comparisons. How about just simply cleaning up after yourself and not polluting the world with 20$? If I dropped 20$ off a cliff, I would not get it, but I know I should.
