Rich man, poor man

 

Nothing a few thousand pitchforks couldn't cure

It's been a while since I told both of my readers that we're losing the class war, so I'll remind them again:  we're losing the class war.

I note this because research by economic think tank EPI shows that CEO pay rose 16% in 2020 while the average worker's rose less than two percent.  In actual dollars, this means a CEO making $2,000,000 per year saw his pay rise $320,000 while someone making $20,000 a year since his pay rise by...$400.  Or in real world terms, the above mentioned CEO's extra pay could buy ten SUV's off your local car dealer's lot, while the above noted working man's extra pay would be lucky to buy a family two week's worth of groceries.

If companies can afford to raise the pay of overrated and pampered millionaires by 16%, we goddamn surely can raise the minimum wage to $15.
