I don’t mean it as acceptance of the massive wealth disparity, about which I agree fully.
I meant that “per hour” implies a wage paid by somebody/ some company, and the uber wealthy don’t really collect a wage.
It’s fair enough to say that a person’s wealth went up *x *last year, or y the year before that. But whatever the increase (or decrease) in net worth was, it’s not dependent on the number of hours they worked in the same way it does with a wage.
Umm, what? That’s exactly how it works.
That’s not what you were told, sure. Maybe time to shed some of that naivete, though.
