It's not the CEO, it's the shareholder class (and the system).
CEOs are just lapdogs with a job.
Shareholders dictate what CEOs (management board) objectives are. Is usually profit. If their job was to maximise wages, CEOs would try anything to achieve that.
Ppl will really think CEOs that affect profit by 0.01% are the issue, not where the vast profit goes, and why is profit king above all else (human lives & ecosystems included).
The CEO is still the top-paid employee, who has a golden parachute in their contract, and will happily fuck over as many employees and lives as needed to make the bottom line look good. And they can influence a lot.
Example, if you kill one, Anthem BlueCross BlueShield will revert to the Anesthesia Policy they had planned. So they do have some impact.
I think youre actually agreeing in a round about way. The ceo is beholden to the shareholders who just want the stock price to go up. You have to pay a ceo that much money because they see the books, they see the profit, they have a hard job to do selling out their own employees. How much does your soul cost? Well, for some ceos its 20 million. Theyre the train conductor running the train down the rails of profit over people.
Those who have taken the entire dish onto their plates, leaving others’ plates empty, and who, having taken it all, say with a straight face and a clear conscience, “We who have everything are for peace!”—I know exactly what I must shout at them: You are the first to be violent; you are the instigators of all violence!
And when, in the evening, in your beautiful homes, you go to kiss your grandchildren, with a clear conscience, you probably have more blood on your hands—unaware of it, in God’s eyes—than the desperate person who took up arms to try to escape their despair will ever have.
But let’s not fool ourselves: violence isn’t limited to weapons; there are situations of violence.
A speech from the Abbé Pierre on the national TV in France. The man itself has been accused of multiple sexual aggression so he's not someone to admire but he did do a lot for homeless people.

If their actions threaten our livelihood and health, standing up for yourself is really just self defense.

Agreed.
It's also why the extreme change you described was so small.
Yes, it is a rigged system.
There's like 100 big names in business who are shareholders and board members on each other's businesses.
Was this redrawn from memory? Wtf is going on with the art
ai slop
It's always a shame when people are jealous of other people's hard work /s.
Good message defeated by what looks like an ai render of the meme
Social murder is also very much a thing.

I see Lisa projector meme + "Late Stage Capitalism" instance = immediate upvote lol
Would it be possible to go work for a company with CEO getting paid much less?
Ballistic lead applications applied internally normally help achieve this.
How is shooting your current CEO going to help you find a company to work for that pays less to their CEO?
Probably won't. I just like hunting.
Violence isn't always physical.
Mental or psychological violence isn't physical. Economic violence isn't physical, verbal abuse isn't physical.
It answers your question perfectly. You gave a definition of physical violence. There are many forms of violence that are not all physical.
This isn't redefining anything, violence takes many forms, not just broken glass. There's mental violence, economic, sociological, cultural, verbal.
What displayed here is a form of economic violence. It looks like you asked for a definition of violence instead of searching for types of violence.
Well, that CEO salary raises the average pay.
50 years of wage history proves you are a bootlicker or ignorant, or an ignorant bootlicker.

I'm fairly certain they were saying that ironically...
Sorry, I honestly thought it would raise the average pay, which in turn is used to promote capitalism.
Sounds like you're new to the world. Averages bury the lede. Median wages show a better picture.
I'm pretty sure thats what Rockbottom is saying. They're speaking descriptively, not prescriptively.
Their first comment was said tongue-in-cheek.
Right, can't be said often enough. But we should never forget the shareholders, who want it this way.
