In the last five years McDonald's has averaged $8 billion in profits per year. Their employees average $8.47 per hour. That's $17,617 per year at full time. They have 235k employees, so if the profits were returned to the employees that number could be raised to $51,659 per year.

The problem with your argument is that we don't know how much of those dividends was reinvested or in what, as opposed to frittered away on golden lifts and golf courses. If the State controlled profit, it would still need to prioritize reinvestment or we'd end up like Venezuela.

1) who said anything about the state being in charge of it? Worker ownership! 2)just reinvest anyway, without giving so much to shareholders? 3) Venezuela actually has a smaller public sector than Germany or France (their main problem - oil prices).

All the responses here shoot over their foundational assumption that we’re are only valid as a people if we can somehow equate to a dollar sign. As if shareholders are risking something real. They’re risking a concept. Workers are sacrificing their humanity.
