We are told that the $20 minimum wage is too much for workers to ask for, but Musk can ask for a $56 billion salary?
This is the equivalent of 1.4 million jobs that pay $20 per hour. He wants to get paid more than a million regular jobs. It's complete insanity that it's gotten this far, even if the judge blocks it.
I have multiple times tried to explain to different people how absurd the existence of billionaires is.
It's shocking to me that many people who work multiple minimum wage jobs to make ends meet will defend billionaires because they "earned it." Either on the hope that one day they'll be rich. Or that taxing billionaires might increase their taxes? I don't know.
I don't know how to be more clear than "he earned your annual combined incomes in 20 minutes doing nothing."

Highly-respected non-profit journals like @Dev_journal support scientific communities. Authors are proud to publish there.
But, when your paper is rejected by a glam journal, it is tempting to avoid re-review by sliding down commercial ecosystems
But wait! Look! Development say “we will also consider papers with reviewer reports from other journals.” Game changer!
Plus: rigorous and fair reviewing system that avoids excessive additional experiments.
