Most of these hypotheticals are pretty lame. Like… Why would I care if another person got the same amount as me? I would only care if everyone got the same amount because that would cause massive inflation and now my million dollars is worthless.
imagine: you get a dollar but so does elon musk. what would you do?
if everybody presses the button, we end up with a massive wealth inequality problem
and that’s actually how companies operate: the employees work for the company (akin to pressing buttons, just more tedious), and for that they get wages, but the company’s owners also get money that way. repeat the process and the company’s owners end up being massively wealthy, which leads to massive wealth inequality.
is wealth inequality inherently bad? on a global level it seems to benifit most lemmings/redditors/bird brains?
I know they meant “worst” in the sense of “bad at math,” but now I’m imagining the world’s worst mathematician trying to figure out how to use math to commit ethic cleansing or poison water supplies or make pugs’ noses even more fucked up or something.
