Yes, yes, I know it's only a propaganda number to make a point. But think
how much environmental devastation would occur if each worker's pay did grow
that fast. Reminds me of an old joke:

Man asks woman if she will sleep with him if he gives her $1,000,000. She
answers yes. Then he asks if she will do it for $10. She replies: What do
you think I am? a prostitute? Man replies: We've already established that,
we're just haggling over the price.
