Nothing like having the drop on someone with a fast cunning trap only to have a staircase instantly materialize in your face.

Not as dumb as I am for taking the time to respond to most of them.

I am dumber for having read the responses to your post.

Okay, and one more thing: The “market” that dictates CEO pay is controlled by CEO-types. It’s an oligarchy that will sometimes admit new members, but mostly stays closed so that salaries continue to rise.

Sorry, but I didn’t say anything about dividing it equally among current employees. I suggested creating more jobs. Which you chose to ignore, which is fine, but really ends the discussion.

The reasons I’m not CEO are numerous, not the least of which being that I spend time in comment sections arguing with people carrying water for a system that fucks them - and, essentially, the entirety of the country - over while enriching the very few.

Experienced and specialized executives are hard to find.

Sorry, but no. Look, I’m fine with some CEOs - founders of the company like Jobs or Benioff - being paid whatever the fuck they want because the thing wouldn’t exist without them. But do you honestly believe that the Tim Cooks of the world wouldn’t be CEOs if the jobs paid “only” two million dollars?

This is utter horseshit. CEOs of major corporations have successfully sold an illusion that they possess unique characteristics that result in them being paid tens of millions of dollars - with salary generally determined by a company’s board, made up of other CEO-types with a vested interest in maximizing executive…

HamNo, I don’t know if you haven’t heard - as it barely received any coverage anywhere - but a handful of companies have given out $1,000 one-time bonuses. So problem solved.

For every person like your grandmother there are four GOP Lifers who hated DJT right up until the moment he won the nomination, and now spend hours every day sharing Facebook posts that are simple videos of the American flag with “LIKE, COMMENT, AND SHARE IF YOU AGREE THAT DONALD J TRUMP IS DOING A GREAT JOB” in big…

Look on the bright side: if they were alive they probably would have voted for him.

He didn’t discover it, but that’s certainly when most folks learned about it - the video went viral (hence my ‘general public consciousness’ wording) The first discovery, which is credited in the video, comes from Average Josh.

This implies that something has to happen to every celebrity or athlete that does something improper. That’s vengeful not progressive. We should hold everyone accountable and we should demand that. But we shouldn’t be counting all the ways in which to ruin someone’s career.

If safety were the “most important thing” then we’d ban guns and increase the budgets for the CDC, NIH, EPA, OSHA, and FDA. But when he says “safety” he means it in the sense of “overwhelming government control and intrusion in areas deemed to be important to our base voters.” It also works when any Republican party…

If men talked about sexual harassment, Jack Mirken would be the first to complain about mansplaining.

Honestly, I’m not sure what the fuck any of those men would have to say about this issue that is in any way relevant or meaningful.

I see this two different ways,

No he doesn’t, but if he isn’t honestly, what’s the alternative?

Think about the implication if she actually is a Skywalker or a Solo; so Han, Leia, Luke or any combination of those three just abandoned her on a backwater, and left her for dead and then ALL pretended like they had no idea who the fuck she was? That…
