"average top CEO compensation was $15.6 million in 2021, up 9.8% since 2020. In 2021, the ratio of CEO-to-typical-worker compensation was 399-to-1 under the realized measure of CEO pay; that is up from 366-to-1 in 2020 and a big increase from 20-to-1 in 1965 and 59-to-1 in 1989"

Well, helping those people realize that the government can do shit and it not be socialism, because words have actual meanings, is a great way to get them to stop voting against their own self interest, imo.

It's why I constantly die on this hill on this site to people who think universal healthcare is socialism, and call themselves socialists as a result.

You are absolutely correct.

I also want to point out, that to those people socialism is when government does 'bad' things like helping the poor. When they ban abortions, it's job well done.

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
