    I don’t understand, you want your economic value to be smaller? Shouldn’t you be mad about your income, wanting it to be bigger?

      It’s saying that people aren’t mad about the green section when they should be. In most scenarios under capitalism, if you’re earning $60k a year (yellow section), your labor is likely pulling in around $240k worth of income for your company (green section - also a total estimate). If the yellow section was taking up much more (most) of the green section (in turn, making it larger relative to the others) that would do the trick.

      I’d be happy with more yellow or less green. Less green means that I either have more downtime during work or am spending less time at work, e.g. a 4 day workweek. Either outcome I’d be happy with.

      It’s actually pointing at the Green minus Yellow 🤔
