The owners of the companies we work for are making more money than us, off the value we create through our work, simply by through ownership itself. How’s that for compensation vs difficulty?
- thedevilslawyer 1y agoIf you believe that is the case, it is very simple to use some of that pay to buy a slice of that ownership via your preferred brokerage application.
- grafmax 1y agoIt’s a wonder that people still work for a living when all you have to do is buy a share of SPY, suddenly elevating you to same level as your boss.
- thedevilslawyer 1y agoWell, how else are you going to buy the share? (I don't think further engaging on this would be meaningful, as the reactions are all coming from a place of prejudice to state of the world.)
- grafmax 1y agoThe state of the world is a human product. It’s something we create. We can choose to resign ourselves to it and rationalize it, or try to change it through conscious collective action. Either way we are participating in creating the world we see around us.
- sokoloff 1y agoIf you think that’s an easier route, I doubt it’s ever been easier to found a company and own almost all of it. On this very site is a link at the bottom to apply for substantial funding and help in succeeding at a modest cost of equity. But if it’s easy enough that you don’t even need that help, you can own it all.
