For anyone specifically making less than 100k - I'm curious if you had any of these reactions:
a - I'm angry because he's making more and he's an ex-con (that actually murdered someone in cold blood - as a kid)
b - I'm not angry because he did his time (22 years in a cell), but now that he's beyond his criminal time, seems reformed (likely won't do it again), even though he's making more than me - he deserves it.
c - something else?
Honest answers please! I'm just super curious.
- WilliamEdward 7y agoThe prison system is unethical and poorly implemented, and i also don't care if someone earns more than me unless it's millions more. So I'm very strongly leaning 'b'.
- synt4x1k0 7y agoThe moral perspective: I did this, I deserve that. The economic perspective: I have this, I can try to get that. I don't think the two things are necessarily always related.
- briandear 7y agoI don’t care what other people make doing a job. Someone else’s income, wealth, or assets doesn’t matter one bit to me.

- forgotmypass9 7y agoI'm not grumpy about this one at all, but there was a post on reddit about kids making $30 to 60 hour doing yard work and general help out type things. The most I've made in software development is $65/hour as a contractor (so my expenses are higher than normal employment) and lately it seems like I struggle to get any work. When I was a kid I was making $5 for that kind of work (maybe worth $10 now).
