    If this was true…Nd I wouldn’t be surprised that he would sya such a thing as… Making profit for the share holders. Is justified even if ruthlessly done…

    I remember watching a documentary, it may have been Robert Reich that was explaining how businesses in the 1970’s made profits but the difference between the owner and the employee was high but still within a certain logic. Companies still had the philosophy that you should keep your employees for 30 years and treat them with a certain respect whereas today… A lot of big business are there for the shareholder and screw the employee. They are selfish anyway… Wanting more than minimal salary 🙄

    Then again, I love reading Robert Reich… https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-paid-what-youre-worth-myth

    And yet another good article : https://robertreich.substack.com/p/if-bosses-are-raking-it-in-shouldnt

      “This isn’t true but it may as well be, because it feels true to me” is always such a disappointing thing to see commented under misinformation.
