CEO pay soared in 2025, 20 times faster than workers’ pay

Analysis finds real wages fell 12% since 2019, with inequality widening in the US beyond global levels

The issue i have with this; most CEO's are terrible at their jobs. The ones that actually add real value are few and far between.

This is NOT capitalism. It's cronyism. 🤮

@DazRunner @vmbrasseur Blah blah, highly skilled, high risk, whatever...
No. There's no risk for them. They run the company into the ground and employees lose their jobs. The person who actually caused that will receive a golden handshake and be in line for the next big job. Risk and reward are decoupled.

@vmbrasseur In the last year and a half alone my buying power went down by more than 20%.

Which makes me assume that the global decline is sitting at mere 12% because the vast majority of the world workers simply cannot be paid less without them starving to death.
