  • This is pretty patronising but demonstrates quite aptly what spiderpie is getting at:
    digitalsynopsis.com/inspiration/p­rivileged-kids-on-a-plate-pencilsword-to­by-morris/

    I read this bit "The illustrations depict the story of two individuals born into different households and how their backgrounds and families play a huge role in the kind of opportunities they get in life. '

    And stopped there, as its got nothing to do with what Spiderpie (seems, to me) to be talking about?

    Spiderpie is asserting that there is a finite amount money available for wages in the world economy, and that for one persons wage to go up anothers has to go down - quantum entanglement for remuneration.

  • Spiderpie said:

    "So to bring it back around to the actual point: To say that someone "earns" something suggests that they gain it deservedly. To me that seems to ignore the realities of how they got to be in such a privileged position, and suggests that the person at the bottom equally deserves to be there."
