It's cool. I mean we've been historically fine in earnings. It's not like there was a massive drop in compensation relative to productivity in the 1980s that continues to today. Wait, I suppose there was.
What is the value of 50 years of under-compensation for the vast majority of Americans? How many homes never purchased, vacations never taken, businesses never started? We can't afford to do any of that. We barely exist.
But wait, record stock prices! Woo! Who needs money when the corporations poisoning us with PFAs and lobbying the government to destroy itself are earning more than ever! I mean we can't afford stocks and 80+% of the market is owned by like 5% of the population, but that's good! Good and fine!
I mean sure, people will become homeless, starve, resort to crime to eat, but we should rejoice that the billionaires are living their best lives.
Given their reluctance to release power, and the size of the imbalance, historically it seems like the lower classes would need to harm members of the CEO class to bring about change, but that is vile and uncivil and no one would want to do that. Plus you'd need a population with nothing to lose and nothing to work for, American workers are more incentivized and happier than ever.
Go rich people! Take more! And more! And more! And more! Never too much! Surely this impoverished house of cards will stand for millenia!
It's cool. We'll stimulate the economy once we are 65 and out of debt. Surely nothing ill will occur by forcing an entire generation to send all of their expendable income to money lenders.
After all, there are tons of them and only a few of us right. Not like being a billionaire is a mental illness rooted in hoarding or anything like that. They're totally stable and normal. Just look at all of the vocal billionaires in the world, they are always saying sensible and relatable things.
Power makes you awesome, absolute power makes you absolutely awesome! No side affects!
Annoying, since cats shouldn't be drinking cows milk anyway. But I guess most people with cats don't know that. Poor cats. Died due to lack of knowledge of their owner.
The age-old myth that milk and cats go hand-in-hand has officially been debunked by veterinarians and cat experts. Regardless of how tasty milk may be to your cat, this is bad news for their stomach and digestive system. As it turns out, most cats are lactose intolerant.
Is milk bad for cats?
Just like humans, some cats can’t digest lactose, a milk sugar that’s found in dairy. The only time in a cat’s life when its body actually has enough of the enzyme lactase to properly digest lactose is at birth and during its early years of life. This is so the cat can feed off of its mother’s milk. After that, less and less lactase is produced, resulting in potentially increased digestive complications.
“Even though some cats can tolerate milk and seem to enjoy it, cow’s milk just isn’t good for cats,” says Dr. Gary Richter, a veterinary health expert with Rover. “Cats don’t need dairy milk, and the potential problems outweigh the potential benefits.” Here are some other signs that your cat is trying to tell you something.
True. Then you are removed and replaced by someone who does what you won’t.
It’s tricky. I think its also important to weigh in that a lot of these captains and folks in executive position spent their entire working life to get to X position. It must be hard to walk away from a life goal, which I assume is what pushes them to, “do what needs to be done.” The lingering question remaining, “Did it really need to he done?”
