The Hindenburg perhaps?

Wealth distribution makes astronauts as well paid as grave diggers as I understand it.

The rammifications would be horrific.

i don't quite understand what's so horrific about that scenario, since astronauts do basically nothing all day and contribute absolutely nothing to society, while grave diggers provide a very needed service.

i suppose the grave diggers would get angry?
or the astronauts?

I think this is a bit black and white .. Norway is considered a socialist country, but it doesn't mean everybody makes the same. It just means people who make more are taxed more and people who make less are taxed less. Also the private sector has less influence in areas like education and health care. There's still the possibility of climbing up some career ladder to get better pay, but there's less difference between winners and losers in society.

Maybe winners don't need palaces, huge gardens and the most expensive private jets and maybe the losers don't need to go starving without any kind of health care.

It looks good on paper, but I would like to see how the human greed factor plays into this. I don't think humans would be able to execute this plan. Basic emotions prevent it (greed, jealousy, hate, love). The only thing you would do by trying to change the system is piss a different group of people off.

As I wrote earlier, the system works just fine here and there's not really much to complain about at all.

Lil Wayne spent $150000 to put diamonds in his mouth which is over three times the amount your average United States citizen makes per year. See what I did there?
