After the second economist watches the first economist eat bear shit. The second economist will now know that eating bear shit is worth more than $100 and wouldn't accept just $100 back they would ask for more than $100. That's capitalism

Or knows it's an easy way to make $100, so then secures a loan to cage a bear, and plans to hire a team to eat the shit instead for $75, all while pocketing the surplus $25 and skimming from the bear's feed - finally defaulting on the original loan.

I wish there was a way to calculate profit per an hour worked so we could peg pay to that instead of whatever the fuck we use now.

That’s why sales people can make so much money in cases where they get commission. They aren’t exactly the most important part of the team, but when they close a deal the revenue they created is right there in black and white.

It's nearly impossible for a lot of jobs.

lmao “hire a team to eat the shit”. Summed up the state of many things here.
