The average Palantir employee makes $123k. Are these massive CEO salaries good or fair? https://www.businessinsider.com/palantirs-ceo-highest-paid-chief-exec-of-public-company-2020-2021-6?amp
Middle and lower classes had better upward mobility when taxes on the rich were high. If we taxed the heck out of these people they’d quit hoarding it offshore and reinvest it in the company and the employees.
Imagine being mad at other people's success 🤡
I’m not mad. I can imagine you’re a bootlicker though 🤡
9 million humans died of hunger last year. Do you think it's fair for the first world tech employee to spend $50k on their Tesla when they could have saved the lives of hundreds/thousands with the same money? The world is unfair. Nature is brutal and ruthless. So is every species including humans. If we were not we would have only focused on saving all the dying humans vs invent fancy tech and new ways to entertain ourselves.
Re : Nature is brutal and ruthless. So is every species including humans. - how do you reach this conclusion?
It's literally what evolution is. Survival of the fittest means the unfit are dead. See any documentary and you will see how animals are killed by other animals, left to die if they have serious injuries etc. When it comes to humans, what does it say when most of our resources are focused on the top 10%s needs and entertainment while the bottom majority of humans are in extreme poverty and pain? Are you and I not brutal if we know that 9 million people died because of lack of food (the very basic need to live) and yet we can happily shop for the new Car or get fancy food from whole foods?
To be fair, most investors point that Palantir is paying it's employees too much based off of their actual profit. Palantir isn't in a business that makes money through ads, instead they are dependent on selling expensive products to governments. They are essentially in the same sort of business the defense manufacturers are in, and those businesses don't pay their employees anywhere even close to the faang level pay Palantir is paying.
It’s not just CEOs. What about 20 year old football players who make 20M/year for playing a game. Life’s unfair
That dude is winning games or getting cut. Meanwhile PLTR is sucking post IPO.
It’s up 150% since IPO, and ATH 250% above ipo. What are you smoking? 🤡
Peasants and slaves like us can't complain. If you wanna be rich, make a company and ipo it. US is a banana republic. You play the game or you don't. There are plenty of HAPPY people living just fine 30k/yr, farming.
If the CEO fucks up the company goes broke. If you fuck up it's not that bad. Leadership positions where your productivity impacts the productivity of thousands of individual contributors get "holy shit please don't fuck this up" money. That said a billion is taking the piss.

My manager is white but his manager is Indian
That’s how capitalism works and that’s why US is striving.
Thriving*
Well, I actually meant strive. strive - /strīv/verb - strive; make great efforts to achieve or obtain something.
