People of my opinion/disposition already know that CEOs make too much. You don’t have to indirectly tell me.
Shortly thereafter CEO pay started to skyrocket. There's no evidence CEOs started doing a 10x better job running companies but their pay sure as heck increased, 10x then 100x!
Countless studies have shown that workers are not motivated by money beyond around low six figures.
There is no reason to suspect a CEO earning $100 million is 100 times more dedicated to the job than one earning $1 million dollars.
And it’s easy to argue (EDIT: more like assert without evidence) that cherry-picked aspects of the status quo for the last forty years is the linchpin of everything.
Asserted without evidence.
