There are countries with way better CEO to work pay ratios. But in the USA we act like it's totally normal to have these huge wealth gaps, when in reality they are recent phenonemon and the only other era they were repeated was the gilded age which resulted in a decades long depression that was only ended by a world war.
A CEO earns 354x the income of a normal worker in the US. It's really insane what happens over there. I'm really glad a CEO in Germany only earns 154x the income of a normal worker, much more fair over here!
I'm kidding, we are all fucked. US citizen say a ratio 6.7 would be justified, Germans say 6.3.
So you're telling me i need to store a lot of canned beans in a nearby cave system?
