How many chickens would be required to pay one insurance CEO's salary? |
|
Cigna's CEO, based upon a $30,000,000 salary better buy a few more acres of land for his 4,285,714.29-chicken compensation package. And that's based on $7/chicken, because I assumed he would be forbidden from negotiating lower chicken costs.

3. But you're buying in bulk |
|
And you could import from places like India and China (since they are chickens and not meds), so I'd posit a value of merely $3/chicken and slightly more than double your total.

4. We can trade in CDS (chicken default swaps) and future buying power |
|
of chickens using labor (or chicken or whatever) as the agreed on return. Wealth tends to be amasses by trading in systems of chance and risk. This was done thousands of years ago with futures trading on agriculture.

5. Borrowed your calculation for a FB status. |
|
We need ads in Nevada based on this and expand it to the average cardiologists fees, dentist fees, etc.
