If you gave the Ford CEOs income evenly among all the employees, it would be an extra $200 a year.
CEO-to-worker pay ratio isn't a particularly useful metric but it does a good job making people rightfully angry.
Maybe the point, which you're missing, is that nobody should be making that much money at a company.
Fair enough but the "we don't have the money" part is what doesn't really make sense. CEO compensation, however egregious, is still a very small part of total payroll.
Ok, now add in all the other C-suite execs and the board of directors
The board of directors is not on payroll, they're the owners, they get dividends or can sell part of the actions.
Shilling for millionaires?
Fuck off yo.
It's not meant to be taken literally, it's meant to show how ridiculously inverted the current distribution of wealth and resources is in virtually all major US industries. The point is that the money is there. It's just getting sucked up to the top.

I mean that's kinda up to the board of directors, isn't it?
"It's ok because other rich people are saying its fine to pay rich people a ton of money"
CEOs shouldn't be payed less, because I will be CEO of Apple in 10 years.
- his thoughts probably
If you can't spell "paid" you probably don't know enough about how any of this works to have a strong opinion
If you think I can't have opinion on that because english is my second language, then I guess we are done, yes. Because I don't want to have anything to do with you.
I just haven't use that word in past time in a while and I forgot. Something felt weird while writing it, but I don't feel the need to spellcheck everything for somebody on the internet.
Because I don’t want to have anything to do with you.
Couldve just not responded at all
So you're saying we'd only need to sacrifice the pay of one guy to get free or mostly-paid-off utilities or groceries or gas for an entire month for hundreds of thousands of people? Seems like a worthy sacrifice.
I don't think @aport@programming.dev is saying CEOs should be defended, but rather that their income isn't a good measure for the rate of exploitation, because a great part of the companies profits that aren't retained are divided among the shareholders, that is arguably where the greatest theft lies.
