    I really don’t see how that makes much of a difference. The CEOs can just leave if the board doesn’t pay them what they want. And since the boards want them specifically as CEOs, they end up paying what the CEOs are asking for. So the CEOs are paying themselves with some extra steps. Or am I missing something?

      That’s literally the same power you have at work. Just leave work if you don’t like your paycheck.

      Do you see how stupid that argument sounds now?

        I think its quite a different thing for someone who has a net worth in the millions. It’s not the same at all for someone living paycheck to paycheck.

          Exactly, except in reverse.

          If you want to attract the talent of someone who has networth in the millions+++, you need to pay them more.

          The form of your argument and where you are going with the discussion is very short sighted. This isn’t a path to any actual winning argument. I suggest you start elsewhere.

          This is the problem with shitty memes. They poison your brain and make you dumb. If you actually want to make a reasonable argument throw this topic away and start anew.

          It’s not you who is wrong. It’s this meme. It’s just a terrible starting place for discussion and is innately to your disadvantage.

            Everyone stop wasting your time. This guy is obviously a corporate bootlicker or is in the C-suite. You can’t reason with people like this.

              Lulz. If you can’t spar with me, you will get eaten up by the actual far right / mainstream Americans out there.

              Be happy I’m willing to come over here and push back against your bubble. You guys obviously need it if you’re upvoting shitty misinformation memes like this.


              The best part of this entire discussion? Elon Musk is part of the $1/year salary club. Your entire fucking meme doesn’t even apply to the most corrupt of CEOs.

              Your argument sucks and you should make a new one. Sorry I’m the bearer of bad news but that’s better than y’all idiots going out to the real world and having a far right goon own you in a debate.

                  Ah yeah the standard low effort copypasta canned arguments.

                  Go learn to write more than a copy/paste and try to understand topics moving forward yo. Pretending to be an uncaring sociopath online is like Twitter / X shit. This is Lemmy, I presume you are here because you actually give a shit about these discussions.

            The problem is that anyone has a net worth that high to begin with. Nobody is able to work that much harder than a regular worker.
