Price of a Human Life


The Government considers your time to be $10 per hour as minimum wage for work; over an entire lifespan, the average person earns $2-million in wages. Body parts can be sold for up to $500000 on the black market. A 30-second TV ad to 1000 people can be calcuated to $2.88 an hour.

All day long we’re exposed to advertisements that people are paying to be directed towards us. Essentially, ads pay you for doing nothing!

Also consider, what we request for salaries in dangerous positions. “I don’t wanna climb that tree!” or “I don’t want to go in that cave!” or “I have to declaw that cat?!”

How much would YOU pay for your life?
