I really don't care to play "who deserves a minimum quality of life".

    Reality doesn't care whether you care to play or not.

    There's a limited amount of resources, you can't hire everyone on Earth, you can't give everyone an unlimited salary. Everything past that you're making decisions as to who gets what.

    And by the way, if you make enough poor decisions eventually everyone loses their jobs.

    Agreed, there’s limited resources, that’s exactly why we can’t afford to waste any more on another CEO mega yacht or private plane. We’re capable of a post-scarcity society with just the setup we have today, were we to distribute resources on need rather than greed.
