Too much money in too few hands brought on the last depression. These few hands are now buying legislation that will further enrich them but it is all good since ole Bezos and Zuck made billions it means you also will since this is the land of opportunity. Funny how the retired folk think this is still the 70's where a degree and hard work was all you need. The bus doesnt stop rolling once they get off it. Their perspective is outdated. Thing was back in the day you layed off workers when things were going bad and hired people when things were going good. TOday you lay people off when things are going bad and out source jobs and lay people off when things are going good and then you simply change the way unemployment numbers are calculated so it all looks rosy to those that stop at the headline.

Who should decide how much an employee is paid?

what, are you Socrates answering questions with questions? why are you ok with what this has become?
for the longest time, if one had a job, one could make it. not anymore. who had the power to change that? I'd wager it's the one's reaping the rewards from how things are now, with an ever tilted field. bought and paid for by the very rich, enacted by their puppets, and defended by...old dog.

By the way, i am a size six. Not big at all. Ask bob, he met me. Or steve, or brian spencer, or chuck.

Ok, old dog. Forget all that i wrote. You wont answer any of the questions anyway. So, one question very simple question.
Should what has occurred just be left alone and accepted?

You seem to operate under the assumption that it's a closed system, with a finite amount of money.

Understand that the rich will always get richer. Money begets money. But your problem is with CEOs who you believe are overpaid. So, let's get to the meat of it. Who do you believe should decide how much money an employee should be paid for his or her services?

Actually, a lot of money is now in a closed loop system, the financial world.
As for who decides the pay. I would imagine it is the same who always decided. The issue is why did the pay get skewed? How do we repair that? How did it get as it is, from where it was? I already said, above, how that is.

You create a false climate crisis to destroy the nation's energy industry so you can enrich the backward nomads so they can have a small chance at a global caliphate.

You over-regulate every aspect of the average Americans lives to the point they mentally and physically submit to the state. You threaten their dependence and mold them into conforming parrots where they spread the failed message of socialism to the impoverished masses.

Socialism implemented. Millions die. Everything goes back to tribalism.

The weak-chinned cucks who cried when the wild animal was taken out of its natural habitat and put in a zoo raged and whined when others tried to prevent the wild animal from migrating to their neighborhood.

Whoda thunkit? Won't shed a tear.
