re: #535 Obdicut

Oh, OK. I think we’re into a “meaning of words” argument to some extent. For me, “deserve” has a clear ethical sense. I wouldn’t say someone “deserves” something based on the rules of an economy, I would say the rules of the economy “determine their income” or something like that.

Of course, people are free to use words how they want, but that’s what it means to me.

I do think that it’s implicit in FBV’s comment that the current situation (where some people are paid vastly more than others for equal amounts of work) is acceptable (or, to be more explicit, “good”), which is again an ethical position to take.
