The notion that you earn 6 times more than your peers is also absurd. You dont work 6 times as hard/much and your time isn't 6 times more valuable than your friends. In my ideal world everyone made the same amount of money since we are all equal. Then you would get your software degree to avoid collecting garbage or wiping old people in a nursery home. Now think of CEO's making 100x other people

Why? I probably do produce more than 6 times value. Their work only impacts one individual customer at a time whereas mine scales to over a billion customers.

They can retrain and join my megacorp if they want reducing the supply for their job and increasing it for mine which should theoretically reduce the pay gap.

I have a communist buddy who runs a profit pool with like 4 other people where they share an office doing different (often unrelated) work and combine/evenly distribute all of their income/paychecks.

Ever since meeting him, I'm automatically skeptical that most people are just reciting platitudes without much real belief behind it.
