RE: "Fixing" Curation Rewards -OR- How Much Is A Poor Person Worth?
No. Because america is a country. The president gets to make laws and do shit that has an effect on me even if i don't want anything to do with him. I can't sell back my stock in being an american citizen, wash my hands, and be done with it.
I believe he should have thousands (or millions or whatever) of times more votes for what product microsoft makes next... because microsoft is a company and he owns thousands or millions or whatever times more stock in microsoft than i do.
Ah . . . . but Bill Gates DOES have the equivalent of thousands of times the votes you do through massive campaign donations (if he wishes).
The equivalent? No. He has considerably more influence than i do in some sense, but thats not the equivalent of having more votes than I do. Its something different but related (which is where the analogy started out, iirc)
There is a difference between 'similar' and the 'same'.
