So if you produce only intellectual property at your job instead of a physical, tangible product, you don't deserve to get paid enough to eat?
2. You are not entitled to be paid for every little bit of "labor" you do.. first you have to find a buyer.
What if that leads the market to conclude that all labor that produces bits and bytes is not worth enough to pay a living wage?
Here's hoping someone is browsing at -1, my karma is buried in the mud.
