Okay, I get it. This seems crazy. That was the point of my note. It only seems crazy.
Expecting to pay people high salaries to perform labor that has been performed in some form since _before there was money_ was always the crazy thing. Money was invented to get people to perform additional, more-marginal things. It was meant to smooth trade over distances or time, to recompense risk-taking, for gambling, for emergency savings.
Most labor is done within a social unit and not for trade between units. Social units have their own form of recompense, such as status, honors, privilege, sex, presents, etc. Not all profits need be monetary.
Thinking money is everything and should therefore cover everything. That is the craziness.
