CEO Compensation Increased 940% Between 1978 and 2018, Workers’ Only by 12%

/——-/ And Communism is the ultimate solution—- right?

/——-/ And Communism is the ultimate solution—- right?

You could always work harder.
Or admit the obvious: capitalism isn't working for a majority of humanity.

"Less than two decades into the twenty-first century, it is evident that capitalism has failed as a social system.

"The world is mired in economic stagnation, financialization, and the most extreme inequality in human history, accompanied by mass unemployment and underemployment, precariousness, poverty, hunger, wasted output and lives, and what at this point can only be called a planetary ecological 'death spiral.'1

"The digital revolution, the greatest technological advance of our time, has rapidly mutated from a promise of free communication and liberated production into new means of surveillance, control, and displacement of the working population.

"The institutions of liberal democracy are at the point of collapse, while fascism, the rear guard of the capitalist system, is again on the march, along with patriarchy, racism, imperialism, and war."

Monthly Review | Capitalism Has Failed—What Next?

/——-/ Bullshyt. Capitalism has created the greatest standard of living in the shortest amount of time in world history. American poor are better off than poor anywhere else.

The number of Communists leaving America to escape capitalism——- ZERO.

The American poor are better off because for-profit American bombs are not falling on their schools, roads, and hospitals. The lifestyle you worship has been paid for with the deaths, mutilations, and displacement of millions of innocent human beings from Korea to Kandahar. And now even working class residents of North America and Europe are being buried under an avalanche of consumer debt while ten percent of their countrymen and women prosper.

Monthly Review | Capitalism Has Failed—What Next?

"Forty-two billionaires now enjoy as much wealth as half the world’s population, while the three richest men in the United States—Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, and Warren Buffett—have more wealth than half the U.S. population.10 In every region of the world, inequality has increased sharply in recent decades.11 The gap in per capita income and wealth between the richest and poorest nations, which has been the dominant trend for centuries, is rapidly widening once again.12"

/——-/ So? It’s none of your business what others make. Go start your own business in your garage like Bezos did. Build your own Amazon.

It doesn't matter where Bezos started; he "earned" his current fortune by exploiting the surplus labor of his 556,000 employees.

Jeff does a fraction of the daily labor at Amazon, yet he's amassed $120 billion in compensation.

That occurred for only one reason. Capitalists have written the laws regarding how the spoils of industry are divided up.

Unlike Soviet Russia, his workers are free to leave and start their own corporation at any time.

I find it funny how when a point is dismissed that the person thinks a proper rebuttal is to double down on the same stupid argument. I am not the one arguing for free trade.

What are you arguing then?

That we are not a free market capitalist country.

Technically we are, however, other countries are not, and until the world all agrees equal trade, there cannot be free trade.

Fine, as long as we understand there is no free trade.

Don’t explain to me, explain to those complaining trump’s not. The entire world is not, and until they are we can’t. I don’t understand how that’s so difficult for some. Without equal trade, the loss of jobs would continue. Trump is telling the world, that practice is past

Actually stupid if we lessen trade with China the need for goods does not change, so factories and jobs will be created here.

Now stop farting

Actually kid it's already happening, we have the lowest unemployment and the most people working ever

Should missile manufacturers be trading with Russia?

Y r stupid

LOL. Even if that was a valid question which it isn't, missiles and mascara are not the same thing but all are covered in a trade deal.

It's not a valid question because I am not the one arguing that we have free markets. We do not.

So you are so ignorant that you believe that United States missile manufacturers should be allowed to trade with Russia, China and North Korea. Kid the only thing here that is not valid is your IQ.

Now go cash your welfare check

I find it funny how when a point is dismissed that the person thinks a proper rebuttal is to double down on the same stupid argument. I am not the one arguing for free trade.

The point was and is nonsense. Wages have risen only 0.3 percent per year in the last 40 years. Just accept that this is wrong unless you can back it up which you can't

Now go play with your dolls

/——/ In the last 40 years, my wages increased from $1.75 to about $70 an hour. That’s a tad bit more than 0.3 %. Go figure.

My first job was 3.35 per hour, and I loved it

An Economic Policy Institute study shows that the dramatic increase in CEO compensation has a large impact on increasing inequality--worker pay could have doubled without the rise in CEO income.
CEO Compensation Increased 940% Between 1978 and 2018, Workers' Only by 12%

But, greed is good isn't it ?

BEWARE SOCIALIST LURKER THREAD!

Gotta spread that money around! Bottom line: you never get rich working for someone else. Go out and start your own business.

Reagan was a puppet who did whatever Poppy Bush and Rummy told him to.
They used to inject microdoses of LSD into his jellybeans.....that's why he went around
with that goofy grin all the time.
