No one is disputing the factsā€¦ I donā€™t think you get what Iā€™m saying.

CEO of the Discovery channel: $156,077,912
CEO of Microsoft: $84,308,755
CEO of Oracle: $67,261,251

ā€¦ ta-da ā€“ with this lens Kullman, Grant, and Allen are vastly underpaid!!

Goldman Sachs tends to catch flack. Other firms in the sector (perhaps with less jewish sounding names) are more likely to escape scrutiny.

they disagreed? Ok, so how much did they think the CEOs made?

That sounds like claiming that a signmaker could prevail over a self-driving car maker whose cars try to drive on the pictured roads. Editorial! The Aristocrats!

OT, but I now have a workable strategy when I get to my dissertation defenseā€¦ :wink:
