6. At the end of the day, what do these CEO's do for anyone?

You can't honestly expect that anyone but the wealthy believe 21 million in compensation is worthwhile, at the same time, saying they need to cut costs by cutting workers pay.

At some point Boeing has to make a sale of these planes to commercial airlines. If people are flying less because they don't have the pay or vacation luxury to fly, how do they justify buying new planes, rather than fixing up the old ones?

And that's the crux of it all. If people, the 99% don't have money to participate in real world economic terms, they won't be able to keep put the charade at the top of the game of hedging bets and making millisecond trades by computer. Of course, they are so insulated and deluded that they actually think they will survive while the rest of the world burns... They are also so out of touch, they really don't understand what it means to have no money. It's easy to see this because of their insistence of social security adjustments so they won't have to pay taxes. Greedy bastards.
