I already did. We can now prove that revenue has actually decreased per dollar paid to a CEO. One might say that that that is because salaries have gone up, but for everyone else wages have stayed mostly flat. So by what possible logic would CEOs now make more money for accomplishing less? And why wouldn't these same factors apply to anyone else?

I understand the theories of how it's supposed to work just fine, thank you. In theory, if I can accomplish more than those before me I should make more because I'm creating more value. In my career I've made an uncountable number of jobs unnecessary through automation. But did I capture any of this productivity boost? No, the executives took it all.

The system is broken because CEOs have been gaming it ever since this idiotic "Shareholder value" focus came about. Everyone has known this deep down for years and now we're finally starting to prove it concretely. To me it's going to be funny watching so-called "experts" explain why they spent decades preaching nonsense about CEO pay being correct as it's systematically shown to be a product of system exploitation.
