Trying to head off a topic derailment
We say the same about Executive salaries and to us they seem ridiculously excessive, and to me they are. The fact is, however, that is what the corporations are willing to pay the executives to run the company. Again, it is supply and demand. That's the current asking price for a CEO. Without the salary, no CEO. The money to pay the salary does not materialize out of nowhere and they are not getting it for free.
I would love to see this theme pursued, but it does not belong in this topic. You're welcome, however, to start a new topic in the Coffee House.
