All this is meaningless unless we nano-analyze what useful physical and mental labor each individual does and sacrifices. People who just push money around need to be femto-analyzed about every time they go to a bathroom or make a decision just like Amazon workers are nano-managed about every time they go to the bathroom. And X giving Y a huge amount of money says NOTHING about what useful labor X did for Z to get that money in the first place. None of this garbage of financiers/CEOs claiming they "work 80 hours a week" unless minimum wage earners can claim they work 80 hours a week, too. This is what Reductionism is all about. Logically consistent reductionism. Noncreative labor/work is just as important and useful as physically or mentally creative work. I am a PhD Mathematician, working on math theorems. My best friend is an Atheist Animal Rights Vegan trucker. (I am also an AARV: that's why we're friends). She is also a grandmother. She has probably hauled quintillions of gram-meters of cargo up and down the eastern seaboard of the USA. I give her as much praise and encouragement as possible, I listen to her problems her work stories, as much as she allows me to due to her schedule.
Totally agree with all of this. My only question: When do we get to have a "Generational Rap Battle", though? That sounds kinda fun!
LOL
