[@sjuvanet]

if a company is publicly traded, they will value the success of the investor over that of the employee. if would be nice if all ceos had this philanthropic trait, but getting a business off the ground would be very difficult and there would be less opportunity for those making sound financial decisions. companies compensate for this discrepancy by providing stock options to their workers.

[@cuzzinman9758]

@@sjuvanet Define "sound financial decision." And reducing your own salary to benefit your employees would increase production and also make employees happier and connect everyone in the company in a much better way. Employees will see that they are valued and appreciated and not just a number in a game. Publicly traded companies, you're right, the issue is that the investor is valued more. However, as a CEO, choosing to reduce your own salary personally to benefit your employees does not affect your financing even if a company is publicly traded.

Because let’s be real here: no matter how big a charity is, they can’t do everything. They can’t guarantee housing, regulate the prices of healthcare, enforces the law, etc. Not even charities like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (owned by the richest person in the world) can do it. All the work that charity does are good, but a lot of them are short-term and has small impact. To enact better and more concrete change, they need to work together with the government, since only the government has authority in those area.

Invest in an improving their equipment could be a possibility. But there is a possibility that improved equipment wouldn't increase production enough to gain back the money spent on equipment at a reasonable time, and a possibility that the farmers wouldn't profit from the decision, so there is a risk. Because of that risk Farmer B doesn't invest, but Farmer A does. The equipment does end up increasing the production enough to increase profit, so Farmer A reaps the benefits while Farmer B does not. Now let's say Farmer B works for Farmer A in a way that Farmer B does all the physical labor and Farmer A makes all the decisions. Because of their positions they agree on Farmer B being paid $30 an hour no matter the state of the company since Farmer A is making the business decisions that impact the company, and Farmer B's labor would be roughly the same regardless. Let's say Farmer A decides to hire another worker, and that in turn makes the company lose some of it's profit. Farmer A takes that loss and Farmer B still gets paid 30 an hour. Now if later the decision ends increasing production enough to gain a big increase in profit, Farmer A reaps that benefit, and Farmer B and the additional worker who did not make the decision, did not. My point is if somebody is not willing to risk depending on the state of the company for income because of potential loses, then why should they gain when the company does well?

@@Potjandorie Perhaps the perspective you should consider is that people have different skill sets and strengths. Being a top-tier businessman doesn't mean you are remotely able to do the job of your company technician, nor does it mean you could handle the attention to detail required to accountancy. A business owner may have ideas and direction, but he cannot execute without his team. Similarly, the team has nowhere to work should there be no business owner. It's a symbiotic relationship where everyone depends on each other to sustain themselves. What you're expressing is the idea that there is no motivation whatsoever to run a business if you aren't earning more than anyone else. Never mind that that discounts any business started on basis of an ideal or a passion (Which are far fewer in number as opposed to profit motives, of course), it assumes that the business owner has to be placed on a pedestal higher than the other workers. But the motivation could simply be to earn your living doing a job (management) you might be strong in, versus doing a job you aren't good at. This of course doesn't have to discount the concept of skilled labor and education. In the video the CEO expressed a 70k minimum income for all his workers, but assuming that is what his lowest skilled worker (like a cleaner) makes, his higher skilled workers could easily make double or triple that amount. And this all rounds back to your point that companies have to raise the price of products in order to make up for paying their employees more. That is a falsely attributed point. Companies cannot raise wages without raising prices because it would result in the owners or shareholders earning less. And as I'm sure dozens of people have mentioned, these are normally people earning far more money than they could possibly ever know what to do with. If they're earning 10 million dollars a year, how much would their lifestyles change if that got reduced to 8 million? Lets be realistic here - not much, and that's the point.

Your goveremt spends 700b a year on military, thats something you should hold them accountable for, but when the issue is systemic and the wealthy refuse to chip in to fix it, the government needs to empower us, ordinary citizens, and force the powerful to do their part.

Great dude.

@@wist2332 no one said it's theirs. But, you're right, we shouldn't be wishing thay they give us money. But, it really helps if they do. Imagine if everyone who makes100million/ year or above donated 10% of their revenue to projects like this or just 7% . They'd still be rich. But, there will be less poor people on the streets and in the slums. That is if the tax system is altered accordingly. Well, the logic makes sense either way. It's good to give yo the poor and it's not exactly evil/bad to keep their wealth to themselves.

Why aren’t these type of millionaires (people like Dan Price) running for presidency?

[@neethmukku2004]

I feel like there are a lot of moral sacrifices you have to make if you get involved in politics. It’s like if you’re a criminal lawyer: you might one day defend an undeniably guilty man and win, but you were just doing your job, and the criminal gets to walk the streets once more with the ability to do whatever he/she wants. I feel like presidents, or any politician in general, has to set aside their morals so they can do their job. Dan Price is a leader though, and has earned my full respect 100 times over, what a marvelous man.

[@yuhoohyuhaye]

sometimes the people that should lead dont want to

[@davedavidson8208]

​@@yuhoohyuhaye The best leaders never want to lead. that is why they should. They understand the gravity of what it means to be a leader, that it isn't about themselves; that the decisions they make, that the things they say; will have impact far beyond the surface. Unfortunately, that means most of the good leaders in America, will never lead. Because you need to WANT power in order to obtain it here in the U.S., and the people who actually want power, are the most corrupt.
