From 1978 to 2022, CEO pay grew by 1,209% while the typical worker's pay rose just 15%.

This explosion in CEO pay relative to the pay of average workers isn’t because CEOs have become so much more valuable than before.

They've just gamed the system to line their pockets.

@rbreich ...and I imagine un-engaged shareholders may have rubber-stamped compensation packages? Or is that the work of boards?

Notice that the conversation about campus protests is no longer centered on why the protests were happening in the first place?

Whenever university presidents have brought in the police, and students have been arrested and suspended, all learning and discussion has stopped.

@rbreich I wonder what university heads are even thinking, when they decide the largely peaceful (ok, sometimes disruptive) protests/encampments need to be removed. Is it the difficult and uncomfortable bundle of subject matter (with reputational risks for even discussing) plus outside pressures from boards? Years ago UC Davis president Katehi tanked her career for dispatching police to rough up students.
