The implication being that large salaries are often the product of extracting social value.
I think it would be great if large companies got into the habit of employing big bands as a status symbol. A jazz band, a marching band, any number of small ensembles. Maybe we could tie public contracts to battles of the band. I’m suggesting this as someone who couldn’t play an instrument if my life depended on it. Surely paying for a few score musicians would be better than paying the same people to shuffle busywork papers back and forth?
