Shittily redrawn or recreated with AI, the original meme format looks fine. The original episode the meme is from dates back to 2001, so it's in standard definition and looks blurry compared to what we're used to nowadays. I guess someone thought the meme needed to look more "clear" or HD, so they did this without considering how it mangled her face in the process.
Note that there's only 4 audience members instead of 5, and the lighting and shading is entirely different too.
It's not the CEO, it's the shareholder class (and the system).
CEOs are just lapdogs with a job.
Shareholders dictate what CEOs (management board) objectives are. Is usually profit. If their job was to maximise wages, CEOs would try anything to achieve that.
Ppl will really think CEOs that affect profit by 0.01% are the issue, not where the vast profit goes, and why is profit king above all else (human lives & ecosystems included).
The CEO is still the top-paid employee, who has a golden parachute in their contract, and will happily fuck over as many employees and lives as needed to make the bottom line look good. And they can influence a lot.
Example, if you kill one, Anthem BlueCross BlueShield will revert to the Anesthesia Policy they had planned. So they do have some impact.
I think youre actually agreeing in a round about way. The ceo is beholden to the shareholders who just want the stock price to go up. You have to pay a ceo that much money because they see the books, they see the profit, they have a hard job to do selling out their own employees. How much does your soul cost? Well, for some ceos its 20 million. Theyre the train conductor running the train down the rails of profit over people.
Those who have taken the entire dish onto their plates, leaving others’ plates empty, and who, having taken it all, say with a straight face and a clear conscience, “We who have everything are for peace!”—I know exactly what I must shout at them: You are the first to be violent; you are the instigators of all violence!
And when, in the evening, in your beautiful homes, you go to kiss your grandchildren, with a clear conscience, you probably have more blood on your hands—unaware of it, in God’s eyes—than the desperate person who took up arms to try to escape their despair will ever have.
But let’s not fool ourselves: violence isn’t limited to weapons; there are situations of violence.
A speech from the Abbé Pierre on the national TV in France. The man itself has been accused of multiple sexual aggression so he's not someone to admire but he did do a lot for homeless people.

If their actions threaten our livelihood and health, standing up for yourself is really just self defense.

Agreed.
It's also why the extreme change you described was so small.

Yes, it is a rigged system.

Would it be possible to go work for a company with CEO getting paid much less?
modus@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 140d
Ballistic lead applications applied internally normally help achieve this.
UndergroundParking@lemmy.cafe · 2 pts · 140d
How is shooting your current CEO going to help you find a company to work for that pays less to their CEO?
modus@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 140d
Probably won't. I just like hunting.

Violence isn't always physical.

Mental or psychological violence isn't physical. Economic violence isn't physical, verbal abuse isn't physical.
NostraDavid@programming.dev · 2 pts · 140d
K1nsey6@lemmy.world · 0 pts · 140d
It answers your question perfectly. You gave a definition of physical violence. There are many forms of violence that are not all physical.
Riverside@reddthat.com · 0 pts · 140d
K1nsey6@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 141d
This isn't redefining anything, violence takes many forms, not just broken glass. There's mental violence, economic, sociological, cultural, verbal.

K1nsey6@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 140d
What displayed here is a form of economic violence. It looks like you asked for a definition of violence instead of searching for types of violence.

Well, that CEO salary raises the average pay.

50 years of wage history proves you are a bootlicker or ignorant, or an ignorant bootlicker.

I'm fairly certain they were saying that ironically...
RockBottom@feddit.org · 1 pts · 141d
Sorry, I honestly thought it would raise the average pay, which in turn is used to promote capitalism.
eskimofry@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 141d
Sounds like you're new to the world. Averages bury the lede. Median wages show a better picture.
Banana@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 141d
I'm pretty sure thats what Rockbottom is saying. They're speaking descriptively, not prescriptively.
Their first comment was said tongue-in-cheek.
RockBottom@feddit.org · 3 pts · 141d
Right, can't be said often enough. But we should never forget the shareholders, who want it this way.
