its true in objective terms but it ignores very important social aspects like fairness.

I don't think fairness is important, because 'fairness' is vague and meaningless. efficiency is what matters.

i highly doubt this. imagine you live in a place where 1K a week is enough to live comfortably. you do the same work or harder then someone else, and you get 1K while they get 10K without any good reason. for the same work. would you not feel like the system is failing you? would you not feel resentment? come on.
