I agree it demonstrates how unfairness affects, but when you say income inequality are you speaking of different incomes for the same position or different levels of income for all the various positions?
I'd be interested to see what they would do if they were both getting grapes, but one was receiving two or three grapes while the other only received one grape. Would the one grape monkey still realize that it was uneven or would he be happy with the grape that he received and not be concerned with what the other monkey received?
This experiment tasked monkeys with the exact same work, right in front of one another. They were given different levels of awards. So this really doesn't get into income disparity in terms of CEO's vs workers, but rather workers vs workers, apples to apples.
That would be interesting, and would go towards testing what BPV said concerning "comparing plenty to plenty"
I know that. Your comment led me to believe you were speculating what the results in real life would be.
Haha, I think we know what the results in real life would be. If you and I each paid five bucks for a beer and your's was only half full, you'd call shenanigans.
I'd fill a grievance if the monkey next to me got a grape and I was getting a shitty cucumber. Then I'd shove that rock up that scientist's ass.
Around here, five bucks for a beer would get a reaction from me. My pub is $2-3 for just about any brew in the house. $1 drafts on Wed. d
I've been living in strange places where beer is no cheaper than $4.50 and folks panhandling by the gas station make more than the ones working in it.
It's the new America. Where those who do more work to get out of work get paid. Keep voting Democrat.
Or the place where the chronically uninformed piss and moan about the government yet keep voting for the republican bastards who aren't any better than the democrats they piss and moan about....
