It's as simple now as it was 100 years ago. If you are a star you get paid; if you are a cog you get shit. Anyone with 4 limbs from darkest Africa can shovel shit in a ditch. The number of talented artists who can deliver what Facebook asked for is microscopic.
Exactly. But it's not only talent we're talking about, it's about opportunity. And then it's about taking the opportunity. When talent, meets preparedness, meets opportunity... that's when success occurs. Shoving shit in a ditch has none of those factors. Yet people still complain about "rich people getting richer... poor people getting poorer..." blah blah blah...

Nobody wants to innovate. Nobody wants to use their brains. Let's redistribute all the wealth so nobody has the opportunity or the motivation to go out and achieve greatness. Yeah, that'll fix it!
