I would rather focus on billionaire and millionaire than CEO since both are not automatically interchangeable.... .

You can be a CEO In a small business without being a millionaire of the same category as the one of United HealthCare

Shane Te Pou maybe ? (from mega.nz)

none of them. you don't need a CEO to keep a drink at $1 a can. I know it's a meme but y'all libs will go too far with it and coopt it into "awww we can't hurt Elon musk he's too uWu smol bean" by the weekend. I saw what you did with brat summer.

You want someone at the top of the management hierarchy. You can call that guy a CEO or not, but it's the same job. You can take away private investment and have the workers own the means of production at that company, but it's still the same job. You can flatten that hierarchy until it resembles the terrain of Kansas, but it's still the same job. You can pay that guy only somewhat more than the median wage at the company, but it's still the same job.

No clue what libs you're talking about, gonna guess ur using the word lib too broadly when you mean neo-lib. All the actual libs i know have had guillotine on their wishlist for years now.

What's also crazy thing that no one mentions that these money numbers are just a digital stamp. There's no real currency or value backing it

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Dude the moment that becomes real we all lose everything. THEY have their wealth tied up in non liquid assets....ie VALUE behind the numbers. When monetary value collapses All of us tied up with digital value that means nothing are screwed.... The wealthy will loseout too but they're protected.

Edit: Digital value = us dollars in the bank...market or notes under your bed. Not talking crypto anything.

Management is a skill. You can collectivize property relations and keep the positions of Capital Managers. Moreover, in underdeveloped sectors, Markets are a good way to rapidly develop a framework that can then be folded into the public sector and centrally planned by the degree to which it has developed.

Do we need Capital Owners? No, we don't need any. We will still need managers and directors of Capital, even within Communism, ie Central Planners. If the question is how many Capitalists do we need, the answer is 0. If the question is how many Capital managers and planners do we need, the number is much higher than 0.

Management is a skill

Of course it is. And production is a skill. Why is one being paid so much more than the other?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Because they have all the power within Capitalism. I'm a Communist, I want to collectivize property, we can have economic planning of public property and those positions would look similar to CEOs without the ownership aspect.

People seem to be misinterpreting my comment as justification for Capitalism, when it's the opposite.

Been decades since I saw one of those cost a dollar

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Been buying them at my local market for 89¢ each on sale for the past few months. I have seen them for like $1.25 or so at some places though, even though the can says 99¢

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

They’ve been a dollar everywhere I see them sold. If you see someone selling them for more you can contact the manufacturer and they may stop selling to them. They’ve done it before.
