Or just ignorance from folks who don't understand that it isn't some ultimate meritocracy that some believe it is. These folks got a tax break for their corporations and a personal tax break on top of that.
CEOs for the majority of the Fortune 100 and many of the Fortune 500 have full time security, cant easily go out in public, are on call 24x7, and give up their personal lives. Pay them all you want, you couldn't pay me enough. I've seen the lifestyle and its not for everyone.
I'll bet most of the public would not recognize most of those CEO's in.public. Just the small number that seek the extra publicity like Bill Gates (Microsoft), Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook), Jeff Bezos (Amazon), Tim Cook (Apple) and a few others. Most would be total strangers in public.
Some of the same people adamantly defending the high CEO pay and attacking anyone who questions it, will attack workers in unions that just want to protect what they have already earned. They have attacked striking teachers recently, too. Double standard.
Jesus Christ! It always comes down to those damn basketball players, doesn’t it!
Yeah man..nice story..
So as I was saying...what makes a CEO so much more valuable than they were in 1950 when they got 20 times an average worker’s salary?
Oh GAWWWWWWD...here we go.
I’m well aware that everyone on CD is a multimillionaire...it comes with the username and password.

Can a company fire all union members legally? If not, of course we all should be against the unions. They are monopolies.
Significantly increased revenue from television broadcasting, social media, merchandising and licensing? They aren’t solely playing to a crowd of 10k people anymore.
Who cares! The pay gap is meaningless as long as salaries go up for all.
Obviously you are unaware of how thats changed over time. Used to be that the CEO and employees wages went up by about the same %. but about 50 years ago that started to change. To the point where the top 1% claimed over 80% of the income gains last year.

If you hate the NBA so much, make your own thread.
It’s a legitimate question. If you can stop being racist for a second and answer the question, you will find out the answer to your own question.
