Under the conventional economic definition of value, compare how much value is produced e.g. by successful start-up founders compared to a low-IQ guy who is on welfare and will stay there for the rest of his life.

Was this downvoted only due to antipathy for startups*, or for some other reason? It seems true in general. I’d love to hear from whoever downvoted it (or agrees with the downvote).
*Which I somewhat share, so no disparagement intended there.

Think this post was just an innocent bystander in some downvote machinegunning.
