The CEO shooter got caught and surprise, surprise...

[j-mac]

Well look what your way produces. All the wealth in the small few's hands. The gap between rich and YOU getting wider.

Making those CEO's and Corporations pay pensions is a way for us to shrink that gap.

Do you know the golden parachutes the CEO's and VP's get when they leave their companies? Why do they get such lavish going away $? Because those companies have no unions to fight for the workers. So you lost your pensions. And since that time your pay went up 18% and CEO pay went up 1322%. Google it dummy.

Republical policy in a nut shell. Every man for himself. Let the rich run our government. They'll pay us our fair share or what we are worth. Sure they will.

Maybe you should have risked everything, and started a business.

This 'gap' can be closed if someone wants to. This narrative that the wealthy hoard money in some vault that keeps it from being obtained by others is false. The only thing stopping anyone from gaining more wealth is their own personal ambitions and choices.

Making those CEO's and Corporations pay pensions is a way for us to shrink that gap.

401Ks also. The number of people becoming millionaires due to 401Ks is increasing

Number of 401(k) ‘millionaires’ just jumped by 9.5%​

https://www.cnn.com/2024/12/05/business/401k-balances-fidelity/index.html

So, live and spend responsibly, save money and invest in your 401K, IRAs, Mutual Funds, you too can become wealthy. But most don't want to put the work in. Rather, they want to ***** about the rich (who use the same methods I just mentioned) as if they have some secret sauce.

Do you know the golden parachutes the CEO's and VP's get when they leave their companies? Why do they get such lavish going away $? Because those companies have no unions to fight for the workers.

This is not entirely true. Most CEO's of large, public corporations are contractual hires which are usually voted by the board and require majority vote of shareholders. The parachute that you speak of is usually part of that contract if a CEO leaves or is bought out.

Also, there are plenty of corporations that have unionized manufacturing. I have a close family member that works in Labor, and trust me when I say that the unions pay attention to the salaries within the corporate side as bargaining chips.
The corporate side is normally not unionized. Most of those associates work within states that are At Will employment. Only when you get up into Senior Level, Vice President, do contractual employment terms are done.

So you lost your pensions. And since that time your pay went up 18% and CEO pay went up 1322%. Google it dummy.

A question. How much should someone make who is responsible for the 24/7 operations of a global company? CEOs don't work 9-5 jobs. They carry the entire weight of the company on their back. All major organizational decisions are theirs to make (with some board help too). Think how this affects family life, personal life, social life, etc.,

Also, consider that many CEOs are well educated, have years of experience in their fields while coming up the ranks in the business world and have put the work in. It's not like they went to school for 2 years while throwing a football around, or hit a baseball and then gets offered 100s of millions of dollars and dropping out of school, only to be out of the pros, on avg 3.5 years, and then going bankrupt because they blew all that money.

Also, the CEO of united healthcare pay was 90% bonus based. I think I read that his salary was about a Million a year, with Bonus, he made about 15 Million.

Republical policy in a nut shell. Every man for himself. Let the rich run our government. They'll pay us our fair share or what we are worth. Sure they will.

Not everyone wants the rich to run the gov't. We want a gov't that is run by the people, for the people. We do have problems in washington with career politicians getting rich and living lavish lifestyles off of our dollars.

In your world only business owners do well. And plumbers.

Aiyaiyai!!!!

Oh, so in your eyes that's justification to shoot someone in their back and kill them?

Clearly that's not why so many Trump supporters I know are empathizing with Louigi. I've been saying Republicans here make everything political. But out on the streets I'm hearing Trump supports saying much different things. Perhaps they aren't die hard Trump supporters like you. They are just the moderates and independents who voted for Biden last time but Trump this time. Maybe that's it. MAGA Republicans would never consider taking out an evil CEO's who's in business to ruin lives. Not insure people and make a honest profit from it. Gouge. Maximize profits. What are those three words? "delay, deny, defend"

So you're in favor of killing an innocent person, shooting them in the back also. Thanks for letting us know.

No one is innocent. Let's start there. And what makes you think this guy

1. is Innocent
2. is a nice person
3. doesn't laugh at the people who's lives he ruins?

No, that’s you making stupid assumptions…

You’ll see. You’ll side with trump when he takes on the unions. Him and musk. You idiots,! Forgive them lord for they know not who they voted for. They know not what they do!

How come religious people aren’t in the religious forum talking about how this was gods will? Or maybe they are. Anyone consider god was behind this? Maybe that’s how important this is to god. Like abortion clinic bombers.

During Trump I could have been happily out at the range blasting away with my guy with a bump stock. Cops come along and you know what happens? It gets confiscated and I get arrested.

I disagree with the bump stock ban.

You are always free to negotiate your salary.

 

[pknopp]

In the last 24 years that was the biggest violation of the 2nd and weren't done by Democrats.

That's what unions do.

If you start a business, guess what? You're a business owner!

 

[daveman]

Any particular reason you only went back 24 years? Is it so you didn't have to count the Democrats' assault weapons ban?

 

[daveman]

That's what unions do.

If you negotiate your salary, you get to keep all of it.

If a union negotiates your salary, you have to give some of it to the union.

 

[pknopp]

Well it was 30 years ago but since then it was Trump enacting laws that violated the 2nd.

Sure. But strength in numbers.

Where are those rights outlined in the Constitution?

And you meant sports, not sport’s. You really need a tutor. I’m about to start charging.

As long as I get my points across, you can whine all you want about Google spell check. You are right, none of your leftist bull chit is in the constitution, but it didn't stop you knuckleheads from going forward like it was. Trump won because of the push back, and you all been whining ever since.

Van Jones even said, "we are looking like total idiots over Trump, so it's time to realize how very smart Trump is, and it's time to stop saying that he's not smart.
