Again, people are implicitly strawmanning things. No one except extreme anarchists believe in zero hierarchy. Why does everyone always try these insane notions? I didn't say "abolish hierarchy", yet here you are using it as an argument.

If you think executives that make literally hundreds of times more than the lower workers are actually working hundreds of times harder, you are fucking stupid.

If you think they're taking all the risk, then you are fucking stupid. If the company goes under, EVERYONE has to find a new job. If it's a dangerous job, it's the laborers who are taking basically all of the risk.

Just because you can point at specific companies doing good things DOES NOT adequately defend the status quo.

You didn’t present any ideas or solutions to argue against. There’s no argument happening here.

Nor are there strawmen because there’s no argument being made.

You said that there’s generally a lack of imagination with regards to this stuff and I was just sharing my opinions as to why.

You are strawmanning the concept. I'm saying you are likely misunderstanding what the terms being discussed even mean.
