I had this thought too...but at the same time I feel like if you worked for your money you deserve to have it :manny:


I don't think Athletes should be getting paid as much as they do tho. Football is a grueling sport, so their pay is somewhat justified. But 16-17 mil a year to play basketball/baseball :dahell:


Edit*

I didn't bother to rectify what I said because I assumed this thread would fade into oblivion. Athletes are definitely underpaid if you look at what they bring to their respective organizations, and cities. But....if you scale their pay back, it takes less for the organization to function, and those savings could be spread throughout the sport. It probably wouldn't happen that way due to the money hunger, but it's the thought I was originally trying to get across.

You would still be working for your money. Just once you reach 3 mil it's time to quit. You'll be spending so eventually you might want to work again, possibly have to if you're lousy at spending. Nobody on earth needs more than three mil.

Nah brah. That would encourage an even shyttier version of how we live now. People would form partnerships to have a revolving door system of hitting different high level jobs to make money anyway. Also, capping wages and time spent on the job means throwing out people amazing at their jobs arbitrarily. It isn't a realistic solution.

Encourage shyttyness how? More people would be able to elevate their living standard and there wouldn't be some few invidividuals who could out spend a million people. Revolving door? :what: What makes you think people still wouldn't amaze just because they can't become bill gates?

What you are doing is expecting an economic system will be in line with human tendencies. We always have and always will do each other dirty. Some people want more than others and a flimsy system like you suggest won't stop them.

You know how fast a nikka can spend 3 million?

Plus society would become more corrupt cause even more people would turn to illegal practises or the gov't(reduntant) for extra change, and we'd be told even more lies to maintain the illusion



:mjlol: it would lead to more people having a home to live in. How fast a "nikka" can spend three million dollars? Lmao. That's a number you can live off for life if you wanted to.

What is making it flimsy? I thought crime across the board is decreasing as the years have been passing, now all the sudden it would be some armageddon? Because people would be mad even more people can live happily in a warm home?
