Maybe they should have spent money on R&D during covid, instead of doing fucking stock buy-backs.

Fuck them. Fuck them to death.

Or paid their employees properly instead of diverting that funds to shareholders.

You could finance 5 labourers with the salary of one CEO earning €200,000. And with universal and free healthcare and education with affordable housing, €40,000 becomes a lot worth.

The CEOs are earning way more than 200k. The lowest paid of the US auto CEOs earns north of $20 million.

Yeah, and they do that through "bonuses".

You could remove €15 million of the bonuses and still get 100 new employees with a comfortable €50,000 salary.
