Paul1405,
Sounds suspiciously like you're one who'd lose if integrity & effort were to indeed be a criteria for a fair pay !

Hi paul,

" .... The reality is, reward for exploration, is what counts. If you have it, and others want it, then they have to pay. Something as simple as supply and demand."

So you've turned pure-capitalist now ?

No, no, Joe,

I still have to think about Indy, supporting him in his twilight years with his nil integrity, and zero effort. With a scale of 0 to 100 on the Into/effo meter, and the formula of;

I x E = $P, then in me old sods case its 0 x 0 = $0 or a very hungry Indy.

I on the other hand, its 100 x 100 = $10, 000. That will allow me to be a good 19th century Protestant, and spend 50c giving Indy a week old meat pie! That will sustain me old mate for another seven days, and I'll feel all the better for my act of human kindness. Of course nothings free, Indy will have to spend 12 hours a day down the coal pit. Can't be fairer than that!

100 x 100 = $10, 000.
Paul1405,
I wonder if you could come up with that sort of money if your income were to be value for effort based ?
