Growing up working in manufacturing this was just a fact of life, that wages stink and benefits slowly erode away to nothing.

They deserve it for the huge burden of making fucking disastrous decisions that sink their respective companies apropos of nothing and allow themselves to fail upward repeatedly in between golf sessions and gladhanding

/S

Like...you can make a statement that there is value in "direction". There is not 1000% value over the people that actually do the jobs in support of that. There is no value in the guys on their third (or greater) golden parachute going "yeah we do things like this now" with no data to back it up.

The Carnegies and Rockefellers of today. Except I think they actually gave away their money. Like Andrew Carnegie is a saint comparied to the Sacklers, Waltons and the Kochs.

That's the other thing that's different about yesterday's super rich type. Ye olde coal/oil/rail barons did libraries, museums, schools, beloved public works

Today's C-Suite goes on the news to say the workers don't feel enough pain
