How so? The whole discussion stems from someone saying that they should be paid relative (in proportion to) their value. All I want to know is what proportion (i.e. a percentage between 0 and 100) someone would deem fair. Why is that so har

Would you say the same thing about a book?

So as a worker, what specific proportion do you believe is fair to dictate?
725.
by paulcole 2y ago
But you can for sure tell me the proportion that you think is fair right? Should it be 25%, 50%, 99%?

by paulcole 2y ago
What specific linear correlation do you think is fair? And how do you calculate the value you provide?
727.
by paulcole 2y ago
X and Y exist right? Why can’t you divide them to make a proportion?
728.
by paulcole 2y ago
I can assure you it is. You get paid X. You deliver Y value. The proportion is X / Y. Sometimes that proportion is very high, sometimes it is very low. Sometimes it is negative. Sometimes you get a divide by zero error. And again, the

Yes, but right now I’m asking the person who said they wanted a proportional amount of value. Either they can/will answer the question or they can’t/won’t.

It’s always proportional to the value you provide. You just don’t like the proportion lol. What specific proportion do you think is fair? And how do you calculate the value you provide?

1. It is a liability thing and it’s just safer to not give feedback. 2. If I don’t want to hire you, it’s very likely that I have 0 interest in wanting to interact with you further. You don’t have a job and you want a job where I work. When

I think it’s in the 0-2% over the next 100 years range. I think there are situations where the US collapses but the world doesn’t so that’s why it’s lower. If the world collapse happens, it’ll be a result of pandemic, meteor, solar storm, n

I am impressed that you are so well versed in history. What % chance do you think there is that the US collapses in over the next 10, 25, 50, and 100 years?

I think 5 in 100 is totally reasonable to wave off. I’m not giving it a second thought personally. If it happens it will be so bad that I’ll almost certainly die as a result (due to chronic illness) so I should just keep on living as-is and

The entire world has too much riding on the US not collapsing. I think it’s a 5% chance over the next 100 years.
