But, it's a good point that you rarely hear much in the public discourse about how much NFL players make, where tech CEOs are a constant target of this sort of anger.

This is actually a very interesting point. I think what this points out is that society thinks an athlete who is good at throwing a ball earns their money more than a tech executive, and honestly I'm not sure I disagree.

One gets to where they are with extreme practice, talent, dedication, and typically a generous portion of privilege while growing up.

The other (tech execs) often get where they are by lying, cheating, manipulating, and with nepotism.

I seriously cannot tell if this is satire
