    That’s rather dismissive. Also vague. Are you saying that the notion that wealth disparity is bad is just some guy’s opinion, or that you’re not supposed to be able to get rich being a movie star (or a private equity investor, or a hedge fund manager, or a California gold miner)?

    Usually when people are vague and terse, I assume they’re losing interest in the conversation. It’s okay to walk away.

      I don’t mean it that way.

      Are you saying that the notion that wealth disparity is bad is just some guy’s opinion,

      This is true yes, but back to the original topic

      or that you’re not supposed to be able to get rich being a movie star (or a private equity investor, or a hedge fund manager, or a California gold miner)?

      This yes. I am saying nobody has any authority to assert what is or isn’t supposed to be highly paid, but it is fair to believe nobody should be highly paid.

      Usually when people are vague and terse, I assume they’re losing interest in the conversation. It’s okay to walk away.

      I really do genuinely appreciate the consideration, I’m fine right now, but thank you regardless!
