Heard of the "wealth gap"?
"The wealth gap has existed since our country’s founding, but it has exploded in the last half century. In 1965, CEO to worker compensation was 20 to 1. In 2025 it ballooned to 285 to 1. For the top 20 companies with low-wage workers, like Walmart and Chipotle, the average is 900 to 1. The CEO of Starbucks makes 6,600 times more than the average barista."
