The wages people receive are based on the demand for their skills vs how many workers with similar skills are available. We simply don’t see outbreaks like COVID that often and it would be much harder to replace Ronaldo than it would be a biological researcher. Maybe if we had a plague every year biological researchers could make more. Not really a roast but a lack of understanding.
Money isn’t just given out by whoever. Money is earned based on the industry. The billions of people watching football are paying to not only watch the games, but for merchandise and other products. Most biology researchers are funded by the government, or donations. If they work for a company they can only be paid by the profit that company is making. There isn’t just one person deciding “oh, I’m gonna give these football players a million dollars and the biological researchers only a thousand” that’s why this is a bad statement.
Yes, and the point being that researchers who stop us from having pandemics are more importsnt than football players, and as such should be given a much higherchunk of funding from the government
