Comments are welcome. Keep it short, polite, and on topic.
Thanks to a few abusers I am now moderating comments. I welcome thoughtful disagreement. I will block comments with insulting or abusive language. I'm also blocking totally inane comments. Try to make some sense. I am much more likely to allow critical comments if you have the honesty and courage to use your real name.

There is your log utility function. That's why high income earners should pay higher marginal taxes. :-)
ReplyDeleteOnce, at work, my boss noticed that I seemed frustrated. I told him, "I'm not really stuck yet, but this problem I'm working on is more difficult than I had expected it to be." He pointed out that "if it were easy, you'd be making seven bucks an hour."
ReplyDeleteIn a reasonably efficient labor market, the less pleasant and more difficult a job is, ceteris paribus, the better it pays. If your job is challenging (and not in a good way), count it as a blessing - that's one of the reasons nobody is willing and able to do it for less.
