She also made $29,000,000 in 2022 for herself, cause she worked so hard and made so many cars herself. Ha
Keep these CEO memes coming. These assholes need to have a spotlight shown on them. A company is not a person, a company is ran by people.
If stock buybacks are Capital’s path of least resistance it will self organize, like iron shavings to a neodymium magnet, and make it happen. There is no human agency in the circuits of capitalism and never will be.
If this woman tried to not do stock buybacks, she would be fired by her peers/board and replaced.
If this woman was even capable of considering doing pay raises instead of stock buybacks, she would have been clocked and removed from the circuit like an intelligent species crashing into the fermi paradox/great filter.
Stock buy backs used to be illegal in the USA. It was seen as a form of corruption.

A tale as old as mankind. Like 20 years ago I saw a movie. Some indie thing from France or Spain. The kind of shit that gets highly acclaimed at the Cannes film festival. In one scene there was a bricklayer reciting a poem (from the top of my head and loosely translated from German):
My grandfather was a bricklayer. My father was a bricklayer. I am a bricklayer, too. But, tell me, where is my house?
That allways stuck with me.
I did some brain jogging and I think in German it went like this:
Mein Vater war ein Maurer. Sein Vater war ein Maurer. Auch ich mauere Tag ein Tag aus. Doch sag mir, wo steht mein Haus?
Which would translate to
My father was a bricklayer. His father was a bricklayer. I, too, wall up day in and day out. But tell me, where is my house?
But I can’t figure out what the movie was.
