Every year on the job, he makes over a DOZEN LIFETIMES of wages for the median worker at his company. Seeing the hundreds-to-one ratio shows that there's a big difference, sure, but mapping that to the time comparison really puts it into perspective. Kind of like how a million seconds is 11 days and a billion seconds is 31 god damned years. It's never going to be a surprise that the head of a company gets paid more than the other employees, but let's not pretend that their ridiculous compensation is "what I earned" versus "what I could get away with." permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 child) But someone will tell me that Us v. Rich people isn't the only battle that matters. Literally everything gets easier to face if we just eliminate the battle we have with rich people. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] systemglitch@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago I like who we have to eliminate by extension permalink fedilink source parent [–] PolarKraken@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago* Yeesh, you're exactly right that this is the right way to think about it and thank you for pointing it out that way. Absolutely disgusting, I can't believe we all allow this. I'm pretty fuckin good at math and those timescales and numbers are just not intuitive, I'm always surprised with figures like these, even though I've seen em before. If people knew, really knew this stuff, I have to believe it would change. Anyone "earning" like this while the people (and their families) propping up these fiefdoms sacrifice and struggle the way they're forced to - anyone doing so is de facto amoral. I'd go so far as to say deserving immediate death, no further evidence needed. But maybe that's the 4 beers my old ass had tonight making me feel spicy, lol. permalink fedilink source parent
