I was talking about salary. Salary, Wages, Director's Fees, Partner's salary, same thing--just different amounts, at different times. It's all money. I am not misrepresenting the situation, you are just failing to understand my analogy. Which checks out.
You just weren't searching well enough, lil bro. There is peak out there
There is peak with manga, too. You can't just say that one medium in itself is superior, if you compare the peak of one with the median of another.
Now for the fun part #showerthoughts:
For one wealth and income are very different things. One can make 100k every month and never become a millionaire and one can win a million without any stable income. But keeping that aside, since you steered back to income here, let's apply your accurate analogy and think it to its conclusion.
Since you were adamant in Henri being part of the government being essential for the analogy to be correct, we'd have two alternatives here:
1: Henri is part of the government due to his rank and as part of the 13 Crowns. In this case everyone would be part of the government, working on different levels and your analogy being remotely close to any society existing in reality would break already. Unfortunately, since in your initial post you explicitly referred to Henri's position in the 13 Crowns, this is most likely what you had in mind, however being as generous as possible I am willing to go with
2: Henri is part of the government due to his specific role as Chief of Border Patrol and the ranks are more of a caste system tied to income. (Granted, this version would also fit better, as his appeal was coming from Border Patrol and not in his role as part of the 13 Crowns.) In that case we'd have several problems as well.
The system already has a ton of people with ridiculously high income way above what is in question here, yet adding one more on a much lower level would crash the economy to the point the government itself would intervene, not because promoting anyone to that level would, but specifically because of something they did to get the wage increase they'd otherwise deserve.
You say that this situation is possible to occur in reality and not absurd, so show me any example of it (or something close enough for the situation here to appear reasonable) ever happening.
(I'm a bit sad that you didn't stick with wealth as that would have been even more hilarious)
P.s. Since not every high-ranking demon can become part of the 13 Crowns and they are an entity separate from the rank system I'd shift that role to alternative 2 in hindsight. However that is mostly irrelevant here, as this chapter explicitly stated that the appeal came from Border Patrol.
P.p.s. Well, seems like this discussion is over. If there's any lesson to be learned it's that if you instantly resort to calling your opponent a retard your alternative offered should at the very least be flawless.
Just imagine being all smug not understanding something as incredibly basic as the difference between wealth and income, treating them as the same thing.
P.p.p.s. Just leaving some last choice words for my dear conversational partner here in case he reads them.
You may want to grow up a bit. Widen your horizon. Stop insulting the intelligence of others because of your assumptions, as you have done repeatedly here.
Because someone applies stylistic devices in a different way and for a different purpose than you they don't have to be stupid.
Because someone has a different opinion than you they don't have to be stupid.
Continue to behave the way you did with me and you might get into trouble at some point.
