In November, Business Insider estimated the average Walmart worker’s yearly salary at a paltry $29,469. The outlet observed that McMillon’s compensation as Walmart CEO was more than triple the 295-to-1 ratio in 2014.

“CEO Doug McMillon was the second-highest-paid CEO in this list with a compensation package worth $27.4 million — a pay ratio of 930:1,” Business Insider said. Former Labor Secretary Robert Reich (@RBReich) has frequently highlighted the problem on social media.

So let’s say the average Walmart worker works 2,000 hours and earns 2,000 hours. Let’s say the CEO worked 6,000 hours (working every waking hour of every day of the year, minus 7 hours for sleep). By this ratio, the CEO earned 1,860,000 hours. To put that in perspective, the average worker “earned” 83 days, while the CEO “earned” 212 years.

Can you explain what exactly the CEO did that made his work hours THAT MUCH more valuable than the average worker? Link to source: https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/walmart-ceo-sparks-backlash-report-024000016.html

Yes, I am SO happy that Ukraine is no longer under the colonial domination of the U.S.S.R., they must be doing very well today as an independent capitalist nation, aided by NATO. Ukraine is doing well, right? And liberal, capitalist Russia is also doing much better now, right?
