The difference is 1 part genetics, 1 part skin care routines, 1 part sun protection habits, 7 parts a lifetime with or without smoking and being surrounded by people smoking at nearly all times.

I don't need a 4 hour documentary to know he's a piece of shit. And neither does anyone else. Some people just enjoy wallowing in disgust and anger. Not my cup of tea. Can't be healthy for you. I get enough (or too much) from the news headlines every day, thanks.

I was walking around with some open-ear bone-conducting headphones on the other night before bed trying to corral my daughter. They were connected to my phone but with no audio playing. I had forgotten I had them on.

And also didn't realize that the volume was all the way up.

Then, as I was walking into my daughter's dark bedroom, silent but for the calming white noise of a fan, I got a work email to my outlook app and it felt like the notification sound was coming from every direction, emanating from the very walls directly into my soul. I stopped and said out loud "What the actual fuck was that?!" before I remembered the headphones were on. A nice corporate jump scare to start the evening right.

While I agree with the sentiment, protest non-voting is already tantamount to infighting. This comment is just pointing fingers to set blame on another, which is stupid. But at the same time, calling for protest non-voters to unify with the rest of us should be the goal. That is the opposite of infighting. That's not exactly what OP was doing, but that is the remedy.

"New America" doesn't even make sense. It is IN America, you dolt!

All of my car purchases in my life were about 4k, 6k, 15k and 25k so far. All 4 collectively were about 50k Just saying.

He'll guarantee it, right?

Too real

Today I learned that people without families are entirely unaffected by their governments and so shouldn't have a say. Also that individualism and "selfishness" are incompatible with Capitalist American ideals...

Well pardon me, young man. Excuse the shit out of my goddamn French, but... did you just threaten me?

Somewhere I could actually be proud to be an American? Nice.

So, I'm here for the sentiment of calling out bloated executive pay compared to average worker... but a pie chart like this is the worst way to show this.

A pie chart shows percentages of the whole of something, and there are many other people getting paid than just the CEO and one worker. If your pie chart just represented all of a company's labor budget broken down to the individual, it would have both the average worker's and the CEO's slices be far far smaller.

As an example, we'll keep it as the average worker making 1/360th the pay of the CEO but the company employs 5000 people, then the average worker is making a bit under 0.02% (1/5360th) of the pie and the CEO would be a bit over 6.7% (360/5360th) of the pie. It is still massively bigger. But the CEO is not making nearly the entire labor budget alone like this pie chart makes it seem.

Also, just being nitpicky, the pie chart is wrong even for what it was trying to show. If the CEO's pay is 360 times the average employee then the average employee makes 1/361th of the pice chart as presented leaving the CEO the other 360/361ths. This pie chart shows a CEO making 359 times the average worker.

It was named well before Mexico was a country, actually. But it was named after the Aztec's Valley of Mexico. First there was the valley, then their was the Spanish owned lands north of the Rio Grande, then came the nation, then came the state but maintaining the old Spanish name (translated to English).

The Mormons would've had a lot more buy in if this were their new holy book.

Best case scenario, business school is a way to check a box for a degree that some company still requires if you aren't related to an executive, and get the slightest bit of networking establishment. If you are lucky, you might learn how to properly do some bookkeeping if you want to start your own business. Beyond that, the shit is so trivial and obvious that every dime wasted on it should set you back from your business career for making such an unprofitable decision.

And dudes who barely passed, failed, or dropped out of business school despite how unrigorous it is still end up millionaires often enough because business doesn't reward intelligence and hardwork, despite the bootstrap narratives all the wealthy "geniuses" play up. It rewards callousness, ambition, manipulation, and a ton of luck.

My pronounced cowlick on right side of my forehead was from when I was a baby and my mom let a cow lick me and the cow spit made my hair get stuck that way. I was probably 4 at the time, believed her, and I was very offended that my mom had been so irresponsible as to allow this and leave me permanent defaced. I didn't really question it again until i was probably 8-10

There would be, maybe, 4 business professors then.

Frankly, taking advice from Stupid is a step up from taking advice from Evil. Natalie Harp over Stephen Miller any day.

What part of my comment do you think implied I was supporting the bloated CEO-to-worker pay ratio, that I was minimizing the impact of workers or claiming CEOs are vitally important to the company's operations?
