      I honestly think landlords and the concept of landlords is one of the most destructive aspects of civilization.

    Anyone who makes more than 10 million a year or more is definitely not a good person and not to be trusted.

    The cut off number could probably be lower but I feel confident in saying 10 million. So I’m going with that.

    You can’t make that much without “stealing” it from many others. Exploitation.

    (I’m not talking about a company that makes 10 million, I’m referring to an individual that does. There are some exceptions for celebrities and athletes).

      No.

      Why? Why do they deserve such huge salaries? Is the work they do of that much more value than, say, a beekeeper barely scrapimg by?

        Well they don’t earn that money from exploiting others but from being exploited.

        Especially athletes. They destroy their bodies and sometimes their minds too.

        As for Celebrities like actors and musicians/singers. I think there is a fair bit of exploitation of them too. Especially young women and young men.

        If a company wants to pay an actor 5 million to be in a movie, they are paying for the talent, the risk to the actor, and the advertising that comes with that actors name.

        That honestly seems fair. I just wish the amount that producers spend on male actors wasn’t so egregiously higher than female actors.

        At least these people did something real to earn that money. Showed up to sets. Long days in rough conditions. Or went on concert tours. Traveled and lived in hotels and trailers for months.

        They didn’t make it from stealing from others.

          None of which qualifies as harder work than most jobs or explains how they earn many times the average person’s yearly salary for a fraction of the work.

          Does a sportsball player destroy their body any more than a tradesman? How does throwing a ball equate to mining coal?

          Actors aren’t being exploited any more than the average worker. Compared to, say, a local news reporter that is on television 5 days a week.

      Fuck it, I’ll cut it at 1mil. Doesn’t matter who, doesn’t matter why. Even if you dug up 1mil in gold from your own property by hand, you’re a cunt for letting everyone else struggle if you sit on it and don’t so something.

        yeah I mean maybe. maybe a particular specialist surgeon or such can pass the mil and be decent but I kinda doubt it.

    People who’s roles mean they live off stolen credit of workers. People can add value to a company in lots of ways - Organisers, managers, leads, and grunts.

    However, there’s a class of people that do nothing. They’re often in high level positions, and talk a good talk but do nothing. Their teams have no respect for them and have to do their role for them. They should have been fired long ago, but there’s often a cluster of them protecting each other. They gravitate towards roles like project manager, sales, customer relations, but I don’t want to say it’s everyone in those roles because sometimes you get good ones. It’s also not limited to them.

      I heard someone call these kinda of people “fence turtles”. Nobody knows how they got up there, they don’t do anything useful, and they’re not likely to come down anytime soon

      I feel like those are the same people blocking every beneficial change for the company to maintain the status quo (and perhaps their position).

      The last used car salesman I interacted with was great, he really went out of his way to secure the deal and gave excellent service. I’d trust him over any politician

        Because their job is to sell you someone else’s problem. While you can buy a used/previously owned vehicle that doesn’t have problems, if it does, they still have to sell it, and as long as it lasts longer than your local “lemon law” (if you have one) says, then it’s your problem after that and you have no recourse other than to sell it and still lose a chunk of money. (Most likely, after they sell it, and after the lemon law makes it entirely your problem, they spread the word around that the car is, in fact, a lemon, so other used car dealers won’t touch it.)
