Highest paid people in the US economic system are the ones who contribute the least to the functioning of our society. Finance bros and paper shuffling ‘managers’ are making 3-8x as much as a Civil Engineer, Sanitation worker, Teacher, builder.

How is the guy making sure farmland doesn’t collapse due to natural events or an engineer designing treatment planfs making a mere fraction of what the financial ‘analyst’ (read: professional restaurant patron) is?
