That making as much money as possible is seemingly the ultimate goal in life.
It seemed to be something to snear at for Gen X-ers and most Millenials - this utterly materialistic worldview - but I sense a shift in younger generations.
You know that once you have what you need, that extra $95 million ain't gonna make you any happier.
This just comes down to what are your values. I am fine with your argument, but you had to know the “feeling sorry” part would trigger some of these social misfits. If you just say Cooper should be paid more, that is fine. But of course many would probably say some of his teachers should be paid more, so it depends on what you value. Again if the top 800m runners in the world were paid like NBA stars, it might be quite a bit more competitive also.
Sure, and I don't actually feel sorry for the kid. It's a figure of speech.
Well... You've convinced me...
He should quit running and get an after school job sacking groceries at HEB...
And then nobody will need to feel sorry for him anymore.
