So what? CEOs also get paid more. Where is this crying coming from? Create a company, become a CEO, do whatever you want.

Most people don't have the capital to create a company and become a CEO.

You can create a software company with 0 capital. Stop making excuses.

[harimau777]

Not everyone can simply start a software company. It takes either a lot of capital, a lot of time, or both. Even if you have those, not everyone's aptitude is in business. That's particularly the case in software where there's not the, for lack of a better term, inherent value embodied in a physical product.

Give me some examples of people doing this without friends/family giving them loans, or the founders spending thousands of their own money.

Not arguing, just want to see how it's done so I have examples for myself.

Like, not even with a computer?

Yet somehow it's the ones with computers, earning significantly above average income, writing and reading this now.

You can start a company on a library computer...

Starting a company is easy. Just a few short forms and a small fee…

Developing and selling a product (at a profit) that someone actually buys — not so easy.

[Alupis]

Yet in this thread the ones who do actually make something people want to buy are villainized because they aren't giving it all away to employees (who are compensated for their time and expertise along the way).

[high_pathetic]

If most people lack certain things and other people do not, it doesn't give them the right to complain just because of that.

Companies can dictate how workers work, and it's up to the worker to decide whether they agree to these conditions or not.

It may not seem fair, but you have to look at the bigger picture, and understand how the situation came to be in the first place.
