Try this... If in a free market the demand and the compensation for your efforts would still exist, and at the same level, you yourself are a producer. As to the nature of your employer, that is another question.

It seems dear leader Zer0 has signed the USA up to have our corporations and employee compensation overseen by an international “Financial Stability Board”!

>>So, when one says “it’s only money” or “only an object” what they are really saying is “I don’t value my life very much.”
Just a corollary point, not really disagreeing with you: Whenever I’ve said “it’s just an object and easily replaced” it was usually in a situation where the person I was talking to had just survived something rather destructive—a car crash, a fire, that sort of thing.
I value life and in *these* cases, the value of money (some portion of life) is lesser than the value of human life in it’s entirety—the person survived. In most other cases I completely agree with you
When it comes to thieves, I’ve had things stolen, cars broken into, my convertible top mangled, and I was upset precisely because I knew the time and effort it took me to earn the money to pay for those items. And as you said, those thieves stole a little bit of my life I’ll never have back.
Sort of like watching one of Zero’s speeches (LOL), which is why I don’t bother watching them.
I completely agree with you when it comes to those situations.
I always loved that line!
