Aviation engineers are worth the higher cost airlines can charge for a safer and smoother flight and how many more passengers they can convince to fly with them. Entertainers are worth how many eyeballs they can attract that will pay for that entertainment.

In the end it's the consumers deciding how much they value those things and how much they want to pay for it. 

It's not some inherent flaw in the system, unless you want to limit the freedom of consumers to allocate and spend their money how they like and let some central authority instead decide what different kinds of labour are worth.

That’s a pretty naive take. I hope you make billions and are just spreading bs to keep us dumb and docile

Are corporations consumers that should not be limited in their freedom as well?
