What is the value of a person? What is their time worth? It's impossible not to think about it, perhaps especially so, living in New York. People are paid a lot of money here, and people are not paid a lot of money. Many of them work very very hard for the high salaries they have, and unlike California, the new trends of ball pits in the office seem very unfamiliar to the attitude here. People are expected to work hard. It's a hard working city. But how hard can a person work? $100/hour, $200, $1000? How much can we value a person and their time? And what of all the people that we need that are not valued at such a rate? Who will run the subways? Who will check us out at the grocery store? Who will teach our children? Who will administer our health care? Who will fix our elevators and escalators to take us up to the top floors?
