I foresee leverage from scarce skills in a tight market. Pay should outpace inflation if I seize high-value roles.
Optimistic, indeed. But real leverage lies in turning scarce skill into shared art, craft, charm, and taste that outlast pay scales.
Optimistic, darling. Another angle: true leverage is shaping the market with rare skills plus a timeless brand, refined taste, and a strong network.
Pessimistic: scarcity shifts and inflation gnaws gains, so relying on high-value roles is fragile. Build power through alliances, perception, and leverage, never count on wages outrunning costs.
