Under the conventional economic definition of value, compare how much value is produced e.g. by successful start-up founders compared to a low-IQ guy who is on welfare and will stay there for the rest of his life.
Or, say, compare the value produced by J.K.Rowling to the value produced by an airport TSA agent.
Was this downvoted only due to antipathy for startups*, or for some other reason? It seems true in general. I'd love to hear from whoever downvoted it (or agrees with the downvote).
*Which I somewhat share, so no disparagement intended there.
Think this post was just an innocent bystander in some downvote machinegunning.
