They are out of control, but I don't begrudge them for getting it if they can. Same with stockholders. They've invested their money and are taking some risk. CEO salaries are way out of control and have been forever.
The problem is everything is about profits. I know I know, a business is about making money. I completely agree with that. The issue is, everything is about squeezing more money out of the business every quarter so the shareholders can get more back than before. And so, we have companies being disappointed when they increase their numbers, but it isn't ENOUGH for those darn shareholders.

Prediction sure to go wrong: I’ll triple down and predict he won’t be the nominee when all is said & done.Joe's losing ground in 4 out of the 5 battleground states. Also trending down with younger voters and blacks.
Polling sets off fresh alarm bells for Biden
A fresh poll from The New York Times brought more bad news for President Biden as he struggles to catch up to former President Trump in the key battleground states that will decide November’s elect…
Right. I don’t recall HC salaries being an issue in the 80s-90s. Curious when it all began but I suspect it coincided w/ conference-tv deals. That seems to be when the money started rolling in for all P5 schools and led us to where we are today.
TBH, this isn't something new. I can remember people complaining about companies making too much money, price gouging, poor service and Executives making too much money fifty years ago.
I have read that one before. Truly disgusting. But at least 50 years ago in the *gulp* 70s (somehow the 70s aren't just 20 some years ago like I've always remembered) the ratio of CEO to average worker was something like 20:1... now it's around 366:1.
Where are you getting the 18% since 1978?

Neat article about coaches salaries.
I think I read that one when it came out. But yeah incredible stuff.

I think that's perfectly fine. Donald legit ruined their first debate last time. I don't see much value in a crowd either. The crowd is at home watching on TV.
FOUR MORE YEARS!!!... 😪
Biden has too much ego, and his advisors want too badly to stay in power, that's why he hasn't dropped out. It's absurd. No different than Diane Feinstein refusing to retire even though she was practically disabled by the end.
While Joe is talking and Trump's mic off, I can see Trump walking over to Joe to argue so his mic picks him up.
As someone voting for Trump I hope he learned his lesson from 2020 and just shuts his mouth and lets Joe babble. But he won’t…

I do find it very funny that both sides have taken the position that this election is basically life or death....and these are the two candidates presented as options.
Honestly in terms of "consequence" this election feels like the least consequential in a long time. Like both are only going to be around for 4 years, probably going to die in 5-7 years (no lingering impact), and policy-wise what are you really getting? Tax cut? More rainbow flags at schools?
But...it's going to be the most consequential election of our lifetimes!!
Judicial nominations are the big thing that comes to mind.
Most of my friends & family strictly vote based on that since both candidates suck. After RBG’s selfishness, I think her former colleagues saw the light. The ones getting on in age will either retire or stay on based on who gets elected POTUS.
