Someone just called them “Epstein file condiments” lmaoooo

If you think a $300K corporate salary is payment for 40 hours of weekly labor, I've got news for you... There is a persistent cynical narrative that large enterprises are bloated engines of inefficiency, filled with overpaid professionals who spend their days looking at slides and doing "nothing." I mean, it's a comforting myth for critics, but I think it fundamentally misunderstands modern knowledge work. That $300K salary (or $400K, or $500K) isn't a reward for linear effort but an option premium on high-leverage thinking. We are still haunted by the ghost of the assembly line, ie, the outdated idea that compensation must directly correlate with time spent physical output. In the factory world, if you leave your station, production stops, but in the knowledge economy, value is almost totally decoupled from time. Folks... An enterprise paying a senior leader or specialist $25K a month is not buying 160 hours of typing, they are buying *insurance* against catastrophic errors and positioning themselves for asymmetric upside. I'll try to make it tangible with an example... Consider a complex matrix organization busy with a $40M product migration. In this environment, the value distribution of a worker's is heavily spiked. Most days look like nothing... alignment meetings, reading documentation, maintaining steady state. Yes, to an outsider, it looks like "doing nothing." But then a critical day arrives. A vendor fails, a timeline slips, a crossroads appears, whatever... If that $300K professional has the institutional memory and capability to make just 4 or 5 correct decisions during those critical moments, the ROI is staggering! A single right call can avert a $5M problem. Suddenly, that $300K salary doesn't look like bloat but, to me, seems like the cheapest asset on the p&l. These days we are bombarded by tech CEOs promising fully autonomous, AI-driven organizations and I keep saying these pitches miss the entire point of how complex enterprises actually move. Data computation can be outsourced to an LLM but going through the decision fabric of an enterprise cannot. You need people for: > Knowing *how* to build consensus across disconnected departments with competing incentives; > Understanding the unspoken history of why past projects failed, and how to position a new initiative so it doesn't trigger corporate antibodies; > When a multi-million-dollar decision goes sideways, an algorithm cannot stand before a board of directors or regulators and take ownership of the corrective action. An AI can give you a pristine strategic framework with nice and difficult sounding words, but it cannot navigate the human matrix required to execute it. The ability to be effective inside a complex enterprise is a rare AND expensive skillset precisely because it cannot be automated or easily replicated. My point is you aren't paying for the 9-to-5 "grind", but more for the readiness. Like an elite surgeon or an expert technician, you pay for the decades of accumulated knowledge that allow them to fix a crisis in 5 minutes, not the 5 minutes itself.... Leverage, not labor.

They're trying to create and lock in a permanent feudal society, with an elite few having access to power.

What moral authority do 🇪🇺NATO countries have to preach human rights while turning a blind eye to the genocide in 🇵🇸Gaza?"
