You own a business, don’t you? The memes not aimed at you, it’s aimed at businesses with billionaire CEOs and the like.
That doesn't make it any less ridicilous
Do you think businesses with billionaire CEOs don't have overhead?
Maybe they can use their billions to cover that overhead instead of allowing their workers to suffer. There is no ethical way to earn billions.
Edit: in fact, that's the entire point of this meme that you conveniently missed. Any profit after expenses goes to the billionaires, not the workers who put in the most work.
What expenses? According to the meme, there is only wages paid to workers and stolen value of labor
The meme doesn't have any labels identifying what the whole pizza represents. And we're taking it too seriously tbh, but I read it as the whole pizza is your individual labor value.The missing part is the labor that's not properly compensated. The slice that does remain is what you are actually compensated. And taxes and rent cut into that.
