People kill themselves over work stress, not all at once but overtime

They dont have families and the government currently gives out massive benefits to anyone who has a child

Who’s “they?”

Japan?

the japanese

This is true. Asians are very fixated on the concept of status

If youd like to see something achieved like better quality of life for workers japan should be an example of what not to do

Working like crazy is part of that

People would be more productive but also more stressed which goes against the needs of the individual

The CEOs can publicly flog themselves, but it wont fix the fact that they reward over-working and the prioritization of work over social life to the point where the former erases the later

A family based approach maintains the needs and respects the time of the individual.

Dont you see thats the problem?

You can only have one family

If work becomes that family you have no need for one outside of it

If an average CEO cut his pay in HALF and paid it out to his workers I would suspect that most would see less that a $10 annual raise.... So where is the benifit?

It wouldn’t necessarily have to be distributed like that

Ok, then how?

Becasue that income represents a HUGE investment on behalf of the CEO

and would equal basically nothing to his workers

(or hers)

:p

If Elon Musk were to give away 20 billion he would atill have 2 billion. Tesla/SpaceX has 50,0000 people so each employee (assuming even distribution) would get $400,000 each

lol

most of that exists in the form of stock options

Which are valued at current market price

The fact he was able to buy that much to begin with is a concern

what?

If he had 2 Billion he would not be investing in things like civillian space travel and electric cars... So which is better for the world?

he created those companies, he gave away large portions of the stock

"gave away" = SOLD

to investors and via public trading

So to start with this stock was worthless, but then he made it worth something and now he should give it up

He put in MASSIVE amounts of work that frankly next to no one else would/could do. and nopw you want to punish him for it? that is patently insane. You want to promote MORE people wo do that kind of work

Not punish everyone who does

Bu-but its not communism tho

just remember that

I don’t think you guys can fathom how much $1 billion actually is

I really can....

Ah yes the "more money than they need" arguement

And You need to understand that it's not yours. THe person with that money earned it
