Well, I understand that you may think that, but the fact is that it's happening.

So would you rather the corporations generate millions of dollars worth of untethered profit and not pay the workers that made that money for them, or would you rather them generate millions of dollars of untethered profits and pay the workers that generated the money for them?

Not trying to be facetious, but that's a bit like saying, "people are dying in car accidents so would you rather the cars come with heated seats or cigarette lighters?" It doesn't matter what is or isn't happening, it's not connected to anything else in this thread.

I think you're wrong if you're not being facetious then, because people are going to drive cars as long as cars are available, and there's nothing quibbling about it can do about that.

So would you rather that employers pay a significant and fair portion of the profits to the people that generated them or would you rather that employees be grateful that they have a job at all because they're going to make that money and the question is do the workers that generate the money deserve a fair share of it?

If I make my boss $10 million, am I not entitled to $500,000 of that?
