Wtf
 

It feels redundant to even have to reply to this, but here we go. People have been using Musk's, Bezos's, and Zuckerberg's services in greatly increasing amounts in the past 12 years, and that can be attributed largely to the decisions they made to promote and enhance those services. If they would have stepped down and someone else had taken their place, there's no guarantee there would have been the same growth; if they had remained and made poor business decisions, the company would have lost money and value, and so would they.

Bob the burger flipper, on the other hand, contributes nothing to the company that hundreds of thousands of other uneducated workers couldn't have also contributed. He does not manage supply chains, he does not create new food items for the menu, he does not market or advertise the products, he does not handle the logistics of store locations, and so on. If the company does poorly, his wage remains the same. He is eminently replaceable, and is paid accordingly.

If being a CEO is so easy and "free money" for "doing nothing," Bob is an idiot for staying in his dead-end job when he could just become a billionaire CEO instead.

Not to mention they are focusing on the net worth of the billionaires while only focusing on the wage of the worker. If you apply that to any average person with a home or other assets their net worth has also grown tremendously in the last 12 years even if their wage hasn't.

Also, the minimum wage is for entry-level work for teenage students to give them a pocket money for personal expenses, not a living wage designed to support a family for the rest of their lives.
