I remember all the conversations I’ve had that started with the other person saying, “Can you believe so-and-so gets paid $x million dollars for playing [sport]?!?” and ended quickly with me asking, “Can you believe the owner makes $X million dollars for doing NOTHING”?

The fact that they managed to convince the US that people working a fast food job don’t deserve a living wage while CEOS are making millions to billions is utterly insane.

While inflated CEO pay is certainly outrageous, it’s the people who own the businesses that we should reserve our most vitriolic hate for. After all, at least CEOs do work that marginally contributes to the running of enterprises. Shareholders do nothing except siphon profit away from the people who create it. Not saying CEOs are good, but let’s not get shortsighted here: the entire system of private ownership of the means of production is what needs to change for things to get better.
