Even though I think Bernie Sanders is a little wild with his philosophy, at least I respect him enough to know that his ideas are his own and he pursues what he believes to be the best interest of Americans

No refunds, he didn’t feel bad one bit fricking his supporters over

Dodge ceo makes 24 million a year.

Average uaw worker makes about 67k a year

And?

Again, half right. It’s both. Although “ stopping upward class mobility “ is actually evil and the creation of an elite Ruling Class is just annoying . Both can and will destabilize a society. We are beginning to see it here in America, wouldn’t you say ? Too big to fail while small businessmen like me get bent over by the taxman? Black Democrat ladies showing up at my doorstep to inspect documents?

And? There’s a very small number of people who have the unique knowledge and skills to run those companies. The average UAW worker aren’t in that small number.

There can only be 1 CEO which makes it a unique role. You want to be paid do things the masses can't/won't



these guys aren't the elite superstars that you guys give them credit for ?

I'm not giving them much credit at all.
Not that CEOs are brilliant people, but still not many people can handle that role and again there can only effectively be 1. The scarcity of people that can do that role dictates a higher salary. I have seen many promoted that looked the part but "got opportunities to pursue other interests" within a couple yrs ( with healthy buyouts ).
What I say is the biggest joke is the "agency" argument for CEOs mMost CEO base salary is 600k to a million ( or $1) the stock/bonus comp is the Honeypot. This idea that only exec have "agency" is ridiculous. An airline pilot needs to care about and be incentivized to care about the financial success of the firm as well

So?

Is this supposed to mean something other than Dodge is stupid?

A line worker at GM and others gets that for doing the same task over and over. They also get benefits and pensions.

that dude has probably put in 100 hour weeks forever to get into that position. is on the job 24/7/365.

I mean this could be true… or not be true… it’s plenty of CEO and corporate management types who just know the right people and have failed upward

That’s something too many people
dont understand. Persistent and extreme income inequalitycan not be sustained long termby any society. That reality has been proven over time in numerous examples.
