our salaries are not insane given how much value is created. the amount that is captured by peak capitalists is insane.

ultimately you need to get away from being reliant on a salary and become a capitalist yourself. otherwise you're just one of billions that are a few bad breaks away from starvation.

They are insane compared to the global average. One person does not actually create this much value. What happens (in the case of tech) is that corporations in aggregate create the value due to automation, but then they're very inefficient at not burning out their employees so they end up spending a ton on retention.

You assume I'm not a capitalist. When did I say I wasn't?
