Well yeah, all that consolation and abuse of the working class means more productivity per person, and since we definitely aren’t going to pay them more that means we’re now worth $100 billion versus the measly, honestly embarrassing, ten figures we had a decade ago. Single-digit billions, could you imagine the shame?
/s but what you describe is honestly seen as a good thing by c-suite sociopaths. The super rich people you mentioned are heroes to them. Such efficient use of capital to create shareholder value!
And that’s the issue - we’ve structured our economy for the benefit of the owners rather than the contributors. Sociopathic as they are, the C-suite are just doing what they’re motivated (and to a lesser extent legally obligated) to do.
Change the incentives, change the behaviour, change our society for the better.
