I don't object at all to people earning lots of money. I'd prefer it if they paid a fair amount of tax. I just think that the people on the biggest salaries are often not the ones who's ability has the greatest value. Whilst in theory I don't pay footballers' salaries, actually I do pay my TV license, so I am contributing to them

My lifelong despair has been the financial inequality between craftsperson and salesperson. Despair turns to desperation as the craftsperson is gradually replaced by machines - still waiting for the sales robot

Have you never been 'encouraged' to use self-service tills in shops and supermarkets? Surely they are the sales robots.
I have no problem with anybody earning incredibly high amounts for doing their job. Which amongst us would refuse if somebody offered us silly amounts to do a job. If somebody is daft enough to offer, I'm certainly not daft enough to turn it down - as long as it's legal.
Ah @KT53, the self service till Despite a life long career with computers I can never swipe a whole shop without some assistance from a human being - which makes me very happy!
Also I see the till as a payment mechanism, salespeople I view more in the 'encouragement to buy' category. If you have any tips for using social technology successfully I am all ears

Of course I should.
What about Trident, if you believe in nuclear disarmament?
