Say it 1000 times…it’s not gonna be true Doubling prices in 10 years is not “inflation” And not only that…that government sanctioned (frankly) excuse from the plague is starting to collapse…as products are increasingly rejected Get your popcorn and watch it play

That would involve reading books…or Wikipedia at a minimum… It’s a lot to ask 🤪

Price increase recently have been basically on par with inflation.

What amazes me it that this has been repeated throughout history over and over and over and yet we never seem to learn that eventually people break when things get this far out of whack.

SirwalterraleighJan 24, 2025

I don’t…it’s 100% about growing economic strife…for decades Even when it’s not “about that”…it ultimately gets back to it. Anger 101

It is gross how much CEO pay has shot up since 1980 when it really took off. Think I remember reading an article that pegged it at something like 1800% increase over that time. Can't recall if that was adjusted for inflation or not but either way it is a pretty massive increase. Obviously, it depends on the position but if you compare CEOs to their lowest paid, full-time hourly positions instead of the average it gets a lot uglier. If Iger got 41.1 million in 2024 then he is making roughly 1,170 times his base level employees. Generously, let's say a CEO puts in 80-hour work weeks, that means for 2024 he was making around $160 a minute. That is close to what an hourly employee will make in a full day if not more. Just for fun (the depressing kind), if Elon's 4.49 billion a year package from Tesla holds up, he will be getting around 128,200 times the lowest paid full-time positions. There aren't enough hours in the week for him to put in 80 at Tesla given all his other positions he has but let’s say he did. That would mean he was making $18,000 a minute or $300.00 a second. In that case, he is making around twice as much per second as his lowest level employees do in a day. And folks wonder why everyone is angry all the time.

…shovels at the ready The line starts right behind Willow 😱 Remember: only HE can save us all 🤫

One stat I saw was he makes 746 times what the average TWDC employee makes edit: but even if he worked for nothing it wouldn't move the needle on company earnings

Bob’s salary increased 30% meanwhile we have a cost cutting thread

Not at all. Comcast wanted Fox and Disney wanted Sky. They both lost something, but Roberts only got the stinker and Dis was bid up unnecessarily. The only one who truly came out on top was Murdoch. Unless I’m misunderstanding you and you think Comcast didn’t want Fox?
