    I don’t want to put words in your mouth, but are you saying that the workers who built these companies shouldn’t be compensated through stock for their contributions? I’ve just heard your argument a lot and I think, OK, if they don’t really control that much wealth, why not spread it around. They wouldn’t be losing anything, or not much of value. Really need to have a tax on wealth, above a certain level, in my opinion at least.

    Oh, and on the web version of Lemmy, there should be an edit button at the bottom of your post.

      Ah thank you, I’m testing out an app and it must not be built in yet.

      And these folks should totally share their share of the company value with employees! I think that’s excellent compensation because it helps everyone it’s given to. Those that need money now can sell and have cash, those that don’t can save it for a rainy day/retirement. These billionaires should NOT have this level of value to their name. They deserve more money than anyone else in the company gets, because they’ve worked their way to the top, but like… not a fraction of what they actually receive.
