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
It wasn’t just him. He had a team of 50,000 people
The amount of money someone is able to obtain through voluntary market exchange is proportional to the amount of value they have added to society.
ANd you honestly believe any of those 50,000 people did anything without his mopney/investment/work? Or would have done any of it?
That is the liberalist mindset yes
Labour is just one factor of production, and the least important.
There are more than one ways to think about a corporate culture
and least skilled
