bro the amount a worker works for is 100% dependent upon their ability to bargain and hopefully you realize worker leverage has been systematically destroyed over the last century right? step out of your time, think of history. are slaves worth nothing? are sweat shop workers truly worth 50 cents a day? were coal miners in the early 1900's worth pennies? no. they're all being exploited. you're taking key factors out of the equation. it's great to think you're responsible for your own worth and all but it is super child-like to realistically think there aren't dozens of other factors at work.

it also completely disregards things like being well connected because of family ties, inheritance, and every perk of being born into a upper middle class and upper class life. you are basically chalking up worth to the dollar amount that you are paid but you could literally be paid that amount because somebody likes you, because somebody is your dad, because somebody has a political agenda, etc. you're basically admitting our value in this system has nothing to do with hard work, yet that is what you chalk up the acceptance of someone like jeff bezos making 2 billion in a day, while ignoring how much exploitation is involved in reaching that type of income. your logic is inconsistent af
