    Imo there’s no such thing as ‘paid enough to care’. If I’m not paid TO care, specifically, I wont care. I’m not wasting my mental energy to create more profit for the shareholders if I’m not directly incentivised to do so.

      The fallacy is that anyone in the C Suite is distinctly smarter, or more wise than any reasonably proficient worker. They’re not. They most often simply had a better leg-up early in their careers, either through wealth, nepotism, or pure luck.

      Especially when those very same capitalists use their wealth and power to attack democracy and public institutions! Every dollar of profit I make for a modern day (wage) slaver does harm to my soul.
