Lower profits, pay workers more
Sounds like those 105 employees aren’t being paid what they should be. Pay them more. Leave this guy’s pay alone.
Personally I’d say, if top level CEO pay is $6.5m, and we set that as reasonable pay for that level job, and maybe we say the top should earn 20x the bottom, then the average pay in the US should be $325k. Which sounds perfectly reasonable to me. Stop thinking in terms of dragging the top down… Think in terms of lifting everyone else up. If the owners need to own less for this to happen, then so be it
CEO of a major company? Sounds like reasonable pay to me… The problem is that most workers are not getting paid what they deserve (assume this is correct pay for a top level CEO and adjust your thinking on what fair pay actually is accordingly) It’s not the CEOs (or doctors, lawyers, actors, etc) who are the root problem… It’s the kids born with a billion shares of fortune 500 stock who either grow up to be Trump/Elon or just do fuck all their whole life, but still get to rake in 90% of all “profits”. The people who inherited owning the whole world, they are the problem. The CEOs are just assholes willing to work for the people born into wealth… They still suck, and they uphold the shit system for their own benefit, but I don’t think they are hoarding the wealth, and I think the wealth being hoarded is the ultimate problem.
I think it’s a matter of the difference between the quality of life one COULD have vs what they do have. A couple hundred years ago, even royalty died from diseases that are curable today. Society need 90% of people to be farm labor just to be able to provide for 9% military and 1% aristocracy. Today, we know we COULD have access to things that would substantially improve our quality of life, and could have those things without needing much human labor, but these things are being kept from us.
Maybe numbers to help me explain:
Hundreds of years ago you might have lived at a 1, but the best anyone could hope for was like a 3. Today, you might live at a 3, but everyone could be living at a 9. So it’s the difference between how we DO live, and how we COULD live that people complain about.
Nailed it
I immediately assumed the oligarchy (through US or Israel) had injected new life into the rebellion to stir shit up for their new never ending wars.
“The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous.”
Thanks… What did this guy do? Did he get to unilaterally make this call? (Serious, I have no idea how France works).
Ah…so they’re continuing with their support of the evil… They learned nothing… Are we sure they aren’t Democrats?
“The war to end war” (also “The war to end all wars”;[1] originally from the 1914 book The War That Will End War by H. G. Wells) is a term for the First World War of 1914–1918. Originally an idealistic slogan, it is now mainly used sardonically,[2] since not only was the First World War not history’s final war, but its aftermath also indirectly contributed to the outbreak of the even more devastating Second World War.
The war to end all wars!
No no, they’ll just go ahead and lose and blame Russia and Jill Stein… Probably throw Bernie under the bus too just for shits and giggles
We can do both
Israel, Israel is the bad guy… Any country/person/company supporting Israel is the bad guy.
As the former slaves’ descendants were increasingly shoehorned into the new industrial prison complex
The global oligarchy wants power and ownership of everything… They just use the US to do their dirty work… They used to pay us pretty well to turn a blind eye, but they stopped doing that
US countries do too, unless you’re rich enough to get around them
No no no… Gaza can take out a loan with insane terms from the IMF just like every other slave country. /s
I wonder if they did any other Internet activities on the phone at all too… I don’t know for sure if it matters, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Facebook can track where you go or have been on the Internet to some degree.
Seriously though… How the fuck does Israel have so much influence? Like, okay the West needs a puppet state in the middle east for… Reasons… But how does the puppet state end up in control of everything?
God I hope it doesn’t suck as bad as 6
