If you gave the Ford CEOs income evenly among all the employees, it would be an extra $200 a year.
CEO-to-worker pay ratio isn't a particularly useful metric but it does a good job making people rightfully angry.
So you're saying we'd only need to sacrifice the pay of one guy to get free or mostly-paid-off utilities or groceries or gas for an entire month for hundreds of thousands of people? Seems like a worthy sacrifice.
I don't think @aport@programming.dev is saying CEOs should be defended, but rather that their income isn't a good measure for the rate of exploitation, because a great part of the companies profits that aren't retained are divided among the shareholders, that is arguably where the greatest theft lies.
