        1. This right here. People will sometimes try to justify high CEO pay by saying, “Well, CEOs assume all the risk,” but really, what risk are they *actually* taking? They still get to stay rich even when they fail. Meanwhile, normal ppl risk becoming homeless if they lose their jobs. @PearRational/1658520721038131200

        When was the last time a CEO risked their entire life for their company? I'm talking like an entire legal contract saying, "If my endeavor here fails, I give the gov't permission to impose the death penalty on me," or something equivalent. Now THAT would be risk worth high pay.

      Somewhat tangential, but there's a certain freedom to be gained in realizing that John Stark was wrong, and that death IS actually the greatest of evils: once you realize all other evils are small potatoes in comparison, you realize there's no need to fear them as much.

    "Live free by not dying" ...actually, that reminds me, the saying, "What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger," is kind of the opposite of "Live Free or Die," isn't it? Anyways, to bring that back to CEO pay... well, I'd just loop back to the top of the thread here...
