@MikeBrice@omgsidewalks Haha their feet never touched the lowest rungs of the ladder. Papa and Gramps gave them a big 'ol stool early on,and taught them how to look down on people.
@iggaplzuwrk4dhl@omgsidewalks It's not the nature of the work. It's trying to survive on the pay, even at full-time. One week is nothing for them -- they just have to not do caviar and top-shelf wine a few of those days.
@Say_JB_247@omgsidewalks Au contraire, most CEOs never struggled through the beginnings of the companies they run. Their parents and grandparents did.
I've heard it said that the average successful company takes anywhere up to 3 years to see the first dollar of profit. NO ONE can live 3 yrs today w/0.
@Gear85@Yuri6Actual NOT...after you've paid in $1000 out-of pocket in the current calendar tear.
NOT if you can send proof that you have taken other measures to mitigate.
NOT after you've paid a "coinsurance" percentage of the bill.
The whole purpose of insurance is steal money and pay 0.
@Gear85@Yuri6Actual My work health insurance is essentially a $1000/yr health club, on top of the "membership fees" every month. And I know that's not as bad as others have it. But paying for health insurance should mean, straight up, that you have expenses covered up the limit you paid for.
@BillWiIdin I'm not sure how feasible it would be, but I think a possible solution is to cap profit margin percentages. Any type of wage increase "has" to be met with higher consumer prices, and why? To preserve the current margin for the CEOs at the top.
