Lol some rich kid who took to much shit college is gonna lecture me on what class I am.
I get “good at something” and don’t “waste my life”, and you denigrate me for it. This just goes to show it’s never about the other person. There’s something wrong with you that allows you to treat people who don’t get good at something and fail to become successful (financially) poorly and do the same to those who do.
Also, I didn’t say what class you’re in. Poor people can be as classist as the rich, and often are.
If a boss makes 90k per year how can he pay his cleaner 80k per year?
It was six years ago when CEO Dan Price raised the salary of everyone at his Seattle-based credit card processing company Gravity Payments to at least $70,000 a year. Price slashed his own salary by $1 million to be able to give his employees a pay raise. He was hailed a hero by some and met with predictions of bankruptcy from his critics. But that has not happened; instead, the company is thriving.
It makes sense that you’d think it’s impossible because capitalism emaciates the political imagination. A CEO must make way more than the lowest paid employee! Except that isn’t a law of nature. It’s a choice by the executive management. The fact that everyone makes the wrong does not make it right.
Okay, this is boring. I’ll see you on another thread.
That dude still owned the fucking company. And it was a publicity stunt. Elon musk goes years without a paycheck. That doesn’t mean anything. The CEO still owned the company which is worth millions when he sells it.
You keep using the word Capitalism in your critique but have not given a single example of a working solution. That spans whole economies. Because you can’t. Every attempt has failed.

Proof of concept: Dan Price and Gravity.
