Usually it’s strippers, models, and porno actors who need to get plastic surgery to keep their jobs. I think I’d rather be unemployed than take a scalpel to my face for six figures…

The stock market is completely detached from the “labor market”

This is a solved problem. A solution is already available and has seen many successful deployments all over the world. It’s called progressive taxation. The US tax system is, regar…
