Technically that’s linked; the money Elon makes is from stealing employee wealth and could be used to solve the aforementioned problems.
Not defending the gov though, it’s rotten.
I’ve started shifting my investments towards foreign markets. Not that if the US market crashes everybody else will come out unblemished, but you have to do something.
Ditto, and it’s been great.
But have you seen the Dow though?
The higher the Dow, the more money the rich have extracted.
Oh wow, it actually topped 50,000 this time
Maybe CEOs should only make 10 times as much as the lowest paid employee?
I always have to laugh when someone argues that CEOs should make million and billions because “they have all the risk”. What risk? As CEO, you can virtually ram a billion dollar company into the ground, and the worst that will happen to you is a multimillion dollar severance package.
So ok 5 times?
Best I can do is replaced by an executive assistant who flips a coin for every major decision.
We might have an opening in product or maybe QA if they’re ok sitting on 3 scrums.
That would only motivate them to outsource their low level staff to contractors so they could avoid including those people for the purposes of the calculation
If only we could forsee these types of things and plan the rules accordingly. Regardless, even this system would be an improvement. When MegaCorp becomes 20 dudes in an office who outsource everything, they’ll have to sign deals. The more they squeeze, the lower the pay for JanitorCorp’s CEO (for example), who will push back because their workers getting bent over a barrel harms them. The janitors would actually have someone looking out for them. It’d be a sort of Frankenstein’s monster of quasi-unions. Far from ideal, but again, better than now.
You can’t spell “Felon” without “Elon”.
But if me and the boys do it it’s called money laundering. Smh we don’t even wash our clothes what are you on about feds???
I’m not opposed to this new scam per se if we could tone down the old scam of atomizing society and turning things civilized countries do by default into a GDP boost. Maybe if NVIDIA gives some company run by a cartoon villain $500B to buy NVIDIA cards then we don’t need to charge $900 for an IV bag or we could take the hit to car sales of having functional mass transit. One scam at a time, amirite?
I like how the insurance company’s building is right next to the bank buildings close to DC
