All billionaires but not all CEOs

Edit: I have my own LLC but I don't have any employees. I could, technically, call myself a CEO and that would be valid. Should I be hanged?

Should I be hanged?

Only if you really want to be. Maybe you're into that? You should probably use a buddy system, though.

Yeah, my second friend to die went out via autoerotic asphyxiation. Be careful with it.

Maybe just choked a little bit. Like, medium-choked at most.

Same for me, I'm with you

No idea, why I should be hanged, because the only person I'm abusing is myself...

[–] Eh_I@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This is easy.

Do you call yourself a CEO? If yes, then yes. If no, then no. 👍

[–] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I hope you don't actually believe that.

Not that it matters but I don't. My parents got me a little plaque for my desk that says "ramenshamen, , CEO" which is kinda fun but I'm just a guy. I don't walk around introducing myself as a CEO of a company where I'm the only employee.

I don't think you are really grasping how much people hate anyone even slightly associated with ceos.

Even if you just play act as them.

Not saying you're a bad person, but maybe distance yourself from the embodiment of parasitism.

I could MAYBE be talked into sparing all folks on social media claiming to be the CEOs of the side hustle. And I guess Gaben but he has to get rid of his yacht(s?) first

Personally I don't care how many yacts you have, but meddle in my government, behave like an aristocrat, try to surveil and manipulate all the proles, and I am not a happy camper. Very salty.

I think there ought to be a hard cap on wealth from 30mil net worth to somewhere around 250mil. Per person. Double that per family. The actual net worth number should be INDEXED to median (not average) wealth and income, cost of living, etc. And it should be determined democratically.

If we catch someone speeding, first offence just surrender all the wealth over the max wealth limit. Second offence? Capital punishment without the possibility of a pardon, and limited chances to appeal. This can't be treated like any other crime. Going over the wealth limit shound be considered treason.
