These stats are so meaningless. American big tech workers make literally tens to hundreds of thousands of times more than poor Africans.

Ok, what are we going to do about it? Of course, someone will respond moving the goal posts about how it’s different.

Turns out when you’re the one making too much money it doesn’t matter or count, which is, funny enough, the same thing these health care CEOs would say.

Unlike many hypocrites I have absolutely no problem making thousands more than the global poor and the global rich making more than me either. It is what it is. I can make hundreds of thousands more while still hoping and contributing to raising the floor in quality of life. Not impose meaningless arbitrary income limits.

People think this line of thinking is to shut down discussion, but there’s no discussion to be had to begin with. Shall we make everyone have the same wage? No? What’s the actual proposal here? None.
