I don't think the executive pay matters all that much in this discussion, and is a marxist argument ultimately.

If they are well compensated and have proper work conditions, what the shareholders and bosses are making is irrelevant. Market forces should determine their pay; otherwise, why do we think that they should make more money than anyone else?

So why does the net worth of Mandy Moore, et al., matter?

Residuals are due to market forces.

It feels like you should be arguing against causality0, not me.
