I'll translate: "Age correlates with an unwillingness to be exploited and the experience to recognize when that's about to happen."

Our comp is above market.

And I would call it entitlement vs. “not wanting to be exploited”.

You don’t bring your needs to the market, you bring skills. The market pays you appropriately for those skills.

[quantified]

The market pays the least it can among the alternatives. If the younger were smarter, they wouldn't undercut the elder on price, and therefore maximize their value.
