alt Hacker NewsTo me, earning something means deserving something.
I don't think that the current system rewards those deserving the largest cuts of the pie.
If you want to argue how to get a billion dollars, sure. But to me that is different than earning it.

I’m no fan of AOC but yes I think this is what she means. PG should be more generous and steel man the argument.

Why would you say that people don't deserve money that others willing gave to them in return for something they wanted and found to be worth it?

Yes I'm sure that's what AOC meant too but it's not much of an explanation. Who are you to decide what people deserve or earn? And if you're going to decide that perhaps you'd like to provide a better justification, one that doesn't just boil down to "a billion is really really a lot of money".
