Okay, so it's not actually about outputs.

  I'm not sure how you read that. Assuming you're in a capitalistic society: I'll rephrase. If 7 billion people can do your job at the drop of a hat, you're going to make the lowest wage. If 100 million people can, you'll make a little more. If 100 people can, you'll make the most.

    > I'm not sure how you read that. I was responding to a statement made upthread: >...> “Working hard” is meaningless, it’s about your output. While I don't need your elementary explanation of how capitalism operates, it does appear that you agree with me. We aren't paid by how much value we provide to the company. We aren't paid by how much effort we provide to the company. We're paid according to the amount of leverage that a company has to exploit us.

        Weird that you presume the role of Sherlock in this situation, when this conversation would have been much shorter if you'd apprised yourself of the context before responding. Please don't be so condescending. It's not a good look.
