I can only assume from this comment that you're American. In countries with nationalised healthcare, our medical professionals don't profit at all from selling medication; they prescribe medication because it is what their patients need. America might have a profit-driven healthcare system but don't assume that every country does.

You're right. My CEO deserves 118x my pay because I only work 8 hours a day, while they work 944 hours a day...
Yes, a CEO will likely have the most individual impact on a company, but that doesn't mean what they're doing is necessarily harder work than what someone on the shop floor is doing. They have more individual impact because they're CEO; they're not CEO because of their individual impact. Take that person from the shop floor and put them in the CEO position and they'll then be the one with the most individual impact instead.
It's a different set of skills, sure. But one of those skills is definitely "being good at persuading people who make the actual product / provide the actual service to work for far, far less money than the CEO who simply co-ordinates it all".
He probably realised Ye isn't white.

From what I gather, he backed down because all his top men's families were being threatened. Prigozhin's family was kept safe, of course, but I don't think they expected Russia to threaten the families of those further down the ladder.
Maybe it's not spotless, but rather all spot!
I saw someone on Mastodon say something along the lines of "I'll continue to deadname Twitter for as long as Musk continues to deadname his daughter" and I love that sentiment.
I've always found listening to Pink Floyd is enough of a high already, personally!
lemmy.world, maybe, but other instances have far better uptime! I'm on kbin and it's been weeks since I noticed any downtime.
Which really illustrates how much of a bubble waiting to burst online advertising is. Ads on pages like those don't translate into any real-world value for anyone. The advertisers are paying out but they're not actually gaining any sales/users for their money at all because no-one is mistyping a website name, then clicking an advert on the crappy-looking page that comes up, and then deciding to buy/use a product/service from that advert.
