    Imagine if we just awarded it every year to the farmer who can grow the largest yield per acre or the manufacturer who built the best car.

      none of these things are one man operations though, the farmer needed farmhands to spray the pesticides and collect the produce, and the car manufacturer needed several different engineers, many who would not be motivated to work if they didn’t drink or beat their kids to ease the pain of their daily mistreatment at work

        Sure. I’m just saying we should be getting some kind of real tangible benefit rather than some kind of bifurcated ponzi scheme.
