    Record profits dont make themselves, and the ceos arent making anything, selling anything, or providing any services themselves. They simply sit back and direct all the value created by you and others who did make the product, sell the product, or provide services. It’s honestly that simple.

    The ratio of how much money you get to keep compared to the total monetary value your labor produces has never been lower. Or to put it in economic speak, ‘stock prices have never been higher’.
