      If you want to know why all the finger wagging on "lifelong learning", meritocracy, consequences, etc. rings hollow: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/03/technology/yahoo-marissa-mayer-compensation.html?smid=tw-share …

      Stock price of Yahoo went up only because the sold the company for parts Yang bought in 2004. Result: quarter of a billion in compensation.

      Not to mention two huge breaches of user data. Big Silicon Valley & Wall Street set up a system where *all* roads lead to $$$$$ for c-suite.

      This set up is just not compatible with a sustainable liberal democracy where people are expected to vote for the status quo. They won't.

          Definitely true, agree. Still an issue. But true that this has been happening to men for ages, without NYT articles.https://twitter.com/mdrfl/status/871369674516246529 …

          I'm not even a fan of Marissa... but I do notice that the woman gets the brunt of this "overpaid" argument... 🤔

          It's a huge issue. And I am not a Marissa fan. At all. But <sigh> These things always end up feeling like punching myself in the face ☹️
