400x not 400%
lol 400%?
Try 27,200%. That is the actual ratio on publicly traded companies.
400% is an old number, and it was pretty outrageous even back then.
Did it based on GM
I think you mean to do a multiplication sign instead of a %. The GM CEO made $29,000,000 last year. It would take a GM worker 362 years to make CEO Mary Barra’s annual compensation.

Fuck me i suck at math… fuck fuck fuck
Lol
How is the text related to the image? And where is the meme?
It’s NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt
The inspiration for these memes was simple: Nazis don’t deserve Saint Dale.
“The idea for the page came about back in early 2017 when the alt-right were trying to make anything they could into a racist meme, including cow’s milk,” said the person behind The Ghost of Ol Dale Earnhardt, who asked to remain anonymous. “I was pretty heavily involved in the Weird Appalachia Facebook group, where Sid Hatfield and Dolly Parton are patron saints of Cornbread Communism, and a huge fan of the Old Stone Cold page. Everything sorta clicked so I decided to combine all these influences and claim Dale as a meme for the rural southern Left, which at the time was mostly either ignored or laughed at.”
What does this have to do with Nascar? Is it just because of all the advertisements on the side?
I also wonder why Dale Earnhardt senior has suddenly been resurrected as the face of this anti corporate sponsorship meme stream when his entire career was entirely corporate sponsored
Because raise hell, praise Dale. Duh.
NASCAR was originally about bootleggers telling the ATF to go fuck themselves. It used to be a counterculture before, like country music, it got appropriated.
And Dale didn’t give a fuck about sucking up to rich people.
Nothing. It’s just circle jerking about ceo pay.
This ain’t a meme
Facts dont care about your feelings meme /mēm/ noun 1. an image, video, piece of text, etc., typically humorous in nature, that is copied and spread rapidly by internet users, often with slight variations. “celebrity gossip and memes often originate on the site” 2. an element of a culture or system of behavior passed from one individual to another by imitation or other nongenetic means.
Maybe try looking up the definition of humorous, Mr. Dawkins…
That typically qualifier went right over your head Mr. Literal.
CEOs are the most leeching of scum the human race has ever made
At least when a king or empire extracted money - they’d invest it back into the kingdom in some way shape or form.
CEOs have zero reason to invest back into the labour pool.
At least when a king or empire extracted money
They really did not. You may have had one or two that wanted more for the country. Most were just greedy shithouses who could not care at all. Unless they needed bodies for a war OFC, then the dynamic changes.
For all the people saying “this is not a meme” or confused about what it has to do with NASCAR, here’s an article from Slate to fill you in.
Where meme
This isn’t really a meme, it just says how capitalism works. I guess it could be making fun if the stereotypical lefty meme though.
Yeah, it’s a Ghost of Ol’ Dale Earnhardt meme
It frustrates me how much workers have forgotten that they can gain immense power through unionization. Labor regularly votes down having more say in their own workplace. It baffles the mind.
Whoa! So edgy!!

“How do we make Lemmy more popular?”
Let’s just shoe horn politics EVERYWHERE
Politic are already everywhere and being used to make our planet unlivable. Sorry not sorry.
And so you’re here to save us by posting politics based picture-of-text posts in a meme community, where we come to laugh at stuff.
Woooo, more agitprop garbage where it doesn’t belong, yay tysm
Feel free to downvote.
Im getting kinda tired of seeing this Russian propogandist grayox posting on memes every day
Don’t know if sarcastic or wholly ignorant about Christofascist modern Russia…
This guy was on lemmygrad less than a month ago posting the same shit and now they are on lemmy.ml… thats why I said that.
So you think that being left wing and posting on an instance that has tankies makes you a Putin apologist tankie? 🤦
Yes…?
That makes you an idiot. Have the day you deserve.
“No guys its cool im not a nazi. I just like hanging around other nazis and talking with them and I identify with their politics, but yeah im definitely not a nazi.” Thats how you sound
You’re currently commenting in a lemmy.ml community, idiot. Does that mean you’re a tankie too?
Also, someone who’s presumably far right probably shouldn’t be too eager to talk about identifying with nazi politics.
Unless you’re a liberal, in which case your guys merely enabled the rise of fascists and nazis with their inaction in Italy, Germany, Spain and the US. Twice.
Double genocide theory is a type of antisemitism.
Please stop making antisemitic comments on lemmy.ml.
Lmao I left lemmygrad.ml and deleted all the memes i previously posted there, cause they deleted a comment i made about advocating for voting in US elections. Voting for the lesser of 2 evils (currently the Dems) is the bare minimum every leftist should be doing to protect the Prolitariat to allow class conciousness to form.
Thanks for the confirmation comrade. May Lenins blood run through you and the blood of the bourgeoisie run through the streets. ☭
I’d prefer it if they just paid taxes, I still believe in making progress through social democracy, but the system can’t function if its Citizenry isn’t involved. The powers of the United States government in the hands of the Prolitariat could do massive good and severely cripple the power of Capitalist Bourgeois control. That’s why they constantly ramp up bad actors to try and make voting seem like a bad disingenuous act by larping as revolutionaries on the internet.
The people of lemmygrad call for the blood of landlords and those with privelage. Its either you are onboard with the full communist socialist rhetoric or you are not, thats how that works. Your posts always flirt with communista talking points so I am going to assume you are bad faith and possibly a russian astroturfer
Not responding to this
And I’m assuming you’re a fed cause you are trying to get me to agree with a communist agenda, when all I’m doing is effectively spreading class conciousness by pointing out logical contradictions in our “Land of the Free” The only terf I’m sowing is guerilla gardening techniques picked up from. Crime Pays but Botany doesn’t
