    It’s not about better or worse. It’s about being correct and understanding the people and societal structures at work here

    If you aren’t interested in knowing how and why CEOs get paid, maybe don’t make dumbass memes about this subject.

    Or do. I don’t give a shit. But good luck having people believe you if you can’t even get the basics correct. Or otherwise feel good that your online culture got infiltrated by blatant misinformation.

      Sure, I’ll bite: Why are we paying CEOs such exorbitant salaries while the workforce struggles?

        The board of directors is doing so. And they do so because the board follows the will of the shareholders. And the shareholders ultimately decide the fate of companies.

        But that won’t fit in a simple meme will it?

            Because today’s hero worship culture makes the mass of shareholders believe that these CEOs have skills that cannot be replicated by cheaper labor.

            But that’s not quite as simple a problem. The issue is that you are up against literally millions of shareholders who have different values than you.
