| Dec 20, 2020 at 23:57 | comment | added | Ethan | Right, I understand now that asset appreciation isn't a form of income, but the fact that CEOs have so much money in their own appreciating assets means that market forces drive their incomes up because in order to pay them a competitive salary that would make them want to work there it needs to compete with the appreciation of their stock assets. So their appreciating assets are driving inequality by detaching their pay from the amount and quality of their work. I'll bring all this up in my question so I just hope it won't get closed this time. (I have no econ degree) | |

Do at least little bit of background research to make sure it makes sense - I have Msc. in policy economics large part of which covered issues surrounding inequality and redistribution and saying that asset appreciation is an income makes no sense whatsoever. In fact the first thing you will learn is that wealth and income inequality are related but separate issues. For example, if you go on astronomy.se with question is sun made of pile of burning tires or is earth flat you should not expect positive reactions | |
| Dec 20, 2020 at 23:39 | comment | added | Ethan | I plan on asking about the way in which even the most monetarily effective PhD Researchers make at most a couple million dollars over the course of their careers, whereas CEOs can make over 1000x more over the course of theirs, usually due to asset appreciation. I feel the question will not go over well with the community as my previous questions regarding inequality haven't, I also plan on posting more sources this time, but I don't think that's why my other questions were overlooked.The way I see it even poor questions can lead to interesting insights, if people will give them a chance. | |
