>Inequality is never fun for those who believe that they are entitled to more than others.

Do you believe people who work harder or do things that others are unwilling/unable to do are not entitled to more than others?

Yes, but that is not what you mean when you say it like this.

If you really stood behind this, then you would believe that the cleaning personnel who wakes up at ungodly hours take make sure areas are clean should be amongst the highest earners.

Academics in particular are not really aligned with what it means to work.

Edit: academic work is high risk, high reward. But procrastinating for weeks upon weeks to write a paper last minute is IMHO not hard work - though it can be valuable work.

I believe most academics are mostly kidding themselves on how hard they think they actually work. Haha. But I mean if you enjoy your job who cares how much you want to do it?

The problem is do people work at all. Finland has had structural unemployment problem for decades, and second highest unemployment in Europe. The cost of this is high for the working members of society.

"Entitled" is not the same as "earned".
