So some nancy boy gets paid £1M a week for kicking a ball around on a piece of grass.
The PM earns around £150,000 each year.
It's a totally fu*cked up world.
Exactly my point. Bonkers. A highly trained NHS consultant earns around £95k - £150k PA excluding private practice.[/highl
So it takes a skilled consultant roughly 5-7 years to earn the same as a little lad kicking a ball about earns in a week.
If I show a printed piece of plastic/paper with I promise to pay and a nominal £££'s value does it over all other printed pieces of plastic/paper suddenly have morals? No, it is our societies, amazingly flexible and useful (if you don't believe me try using the alternative of bartering), standard method of exchange for charging or consuming goods or services called money.
If I offer to sell totally legal goods, services or rent out my time and skills or consume other people's offered goods, services or rent their time or skills in what is called a market place has the market morals? No.
If lots of people are prepared to pay for my skills so I make lots of money have the transactions morals? No.
Therefore applying morality to all of the above is a totally bogus argument and some people use their brains to subjectively apply morals, as they feel fit, to the above. (btw it is normally lefties to make themselves feel smug and superior to the rest of us
).
So why does a very top footballer get paid much more than a doctor or nurse?
1. Supply and demand there are many more doctors and nurses than top, top footballers. The Premier League consists of 20 football clubs with a team having a maximum of 23 registered players. So the core of a multibillion industry has 460 top, top players.
2. Why does a small industry make billions, because like all hobbies and entertainment industries we are prepared to spend disproportionate amounts of money on enjoying them. Most people have about 60 hours of leisure time per week and (apart from Tunnie who likes watching 5l tins of white paint, when he is not in the local student bar telling all and sundry how exciting the speed and acceleration are as you do 2000 miles on a thimble of derv
) want their sensory perception to be stimulated in exciting ways. Now I'm sure Lord Opti, spends hours thinking about, planning and deciding how can I spend Saturday afternoon. Now shall I plan to watch some entertainment I love or shall I plan to have a really bad accident and love even more consuming those doctor's or nurses services as they painfully put me back together again? I can't wait to get those tickets for my entertainment of choice or I can't wait for all that blood, gore, pain and disability as the doctors and nurses put me back together again from that bad accident. Most normal people will go out of their way to be entertained and also go out our way to avoid the skills and services of doctors and nurses which most of us do successfully avoid most of the time.
3. What we earn all comes down to supply and demand in free markets, simples.
