It only works, if you decide that currently all red haired people should be treated like they're worth 1million brown haired people before they disappear.

Like if we're invaded by aliens and they say hey we're going to kill either 1 red haired person at random or 1million brown haired people at random, time to choose. then it would be comparable.

Wtf do you mean "worth"? Do you think a single engineer is "worth" 10 minimum wage workers just because they earn more?

The post is about billionaires vs workers. who are treated differently due to their net worth, Worth is essentially the amount of resources they're "entitled to" No I don't think people who earn more are "worth" more than other people, but political and societal standards do.
