Complete misunderstanding and delusion of how capitalism functions
The whole point of capitalism is voluntary monarchy. Where peasants have to waste their time doing random things to extract productivity from other peasants for the benefit of the select few. And when things go bad for the business, guess who is not getting made redundant?
People making company driving decisions, aka CEOs
Drop in the ocean, Microsoft alone is letting go of 6,000 people https://apnews.com/article/microsoft-layoffs-d1f2de54ebad6f099deac8fbd3375835
CEOs packages mean they don't need to worry about actually how to pay their rent/mortgage. What do workers get? Few months severance for decade of work. Wake up and see the numbers.
You are missing the point, capitalism promotes redistribution of wealth only one way. And newsflash, its not the way towards those who actually perform useful function instead of fucking about golf courses and dinners. If the wold looses all CEOs, we won't notice, if the world looses refuse collectors, you end up with Birmingham https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cdjg07xvnnjo
Perhaps then its time to move away from this moronic system towards something that actually cares about people?
