She has not lost it. She is talking common sense. CEOs should not make 300x the average worker. They don’t do 300x the work. Fuck Capitalism.
None of that is common sense.
Someone is salty about their TC 🙊
Considering the large discrepancy between value generated and money earned for those on the lower level of the food chain, I would argue that she is correct in her wording. There's no reason we should be subsidizing companies that pay their workers little enough to qualify for public benefits. There's also no reason why anyone should earn obscene amounts of money though this might be going a bit out of scope for this conversation. I just don't understand how there's so much of this thinking in tech where we are taught to analyze systems for sustainability and performance. It's like so many of us want to feel like we deserve to crap on those on the lower rungs. I guess it's human nature to want to build esteem from something.
Somebody doesn’t know the meaning of the word “earned”.
Generated better for you? Created? Built? All seem valid.
Nonsense. It’s easy points to score with her constituents but it’s against general attitude of Americans towards success.
Relax OP. When she says "the rich", she doesn't mean you, or anyone else on blind. Everyone here generates more value for the company than they get compensated, that's true of every company (otherwise they'd be out of business). The only exception to this is C levels making obscene amounts. So yes, this totally makes sense, and is good for everyone here, and the economy as a whole. Also, her name is Tlaib.
I don’t care if she’s talking about me or not, people get paid that much because they can. More power to them!
Why is their ability to get paid obscene amounts that are far greater than their value more important than her ability to take some of what they didn't earn to give back to those that created it in the first place?
Glad I didn't go to Oath
Glad I didn’t go to PayPal
No risk no reward. Anyone of those minions is free to build their own company and pay themselves obscene amounts if they are able to pull it off. Reality is people are too risk averse or dumb to pull it off. That's what you get for a 9-5 job. No point in comparing yourself with the CEO
So give it to me ?
Can't lose something you never had. It's her electorate who lost it.
