@LouisIngenthron at first glance, 10x seems reasonable (interpreting socially, lowest to highest income, not just intrafirm). why should anyone have the resources of 10 other humans?

then you run the numbers, maybe imputing something like 20K or 30K as the lowest possible income, and then 10x seems unthinkable, relative to what we now take as normal. 100x — which on its face seems obscene! — would be a pretty radical improvement over the *status quo*.
