In finance, law, and medicine, the workers are the product roughly.

Anyway this debate about being 1000x more valuable is pointless. It does not matter what any individual thinks about their worth. We've all agreed(#) on this system(the worst, except for all others) ostensibly because of the benefits to the rest of society. The internal allocation of profits within a company is irrelevant.

# The old Marxist limitations about lacking capital or means of production don't count in tech/software. It takes nothing to sieze the means of production(just grab it from the cloud) or raise capital.



There's no such thing as the cloud, just other people's servers (means of production) you're renting.

It takes time.


The idea that the solution to lacking capital is to _raise capital_ is a contradiction.


I’m saying it’s way easier than for a factory worker in 1823 or 1923 to raise money or gather machines.

I’m not being cynical. I’d really like to see alternative governance structures to produce and sell software. Co-ops are an example.
