Not even the slightest uplifting.
Stock holders and owners are probably dictating these changes. Not the CEO alone.
It's not uplifting. Almost nothing in this c is.
It's mostly "here's some bad stuff happening to someone I don't like" so it's a bunch of schadenfreude.

If I had $9 million dollars I would be done. That's line a six figure annual salary if you put it in the safest of safe investments.
Rich people suck
If I had $9 million dollars I'd buy nine green dresses but not real green dresses, that's cruel.
I'd buy all the fanciest ketchups. Dijon ketchup!
You need enough capital that you can make enough in capital gains and dividends to live off of in a 4% down year.
Most people in this country could live off of $2,500,000 if it's stashed in an index fund. $9,000,000 is more than anyone ever needs.
You can get 4% from a high yield savings account. That's insured. That's still $360,000 a year (taxed as income). You don't need to expose yourself to a lot of markets and "down years" . I mean, if the us government collapses and insured accounts are lost we all have bigger problems.
At 2.5mm you'd still be fine at 4%. Six figure salary for doing jack squat.
Of course, not everyone can budget and they might burn into their principle. But, like, don't do that. 🤷
Sure but inflation will eat into that over time. The point of the market approach is you can withdraw that amount in real dollars for 30 years after accounting for interest and inflation

Yields are down a bit right now, unless you're willing to go with a sketchy, not sure if FDIC insured "bank."
Currently I'm seeing rates of around 3.5%, or 3.63 APY.

They didn't heed the warning of Pillow Guy's demise. There many big US businesses that are going to hurt badly in the coming months and years - all thanks to their support of Trump. It's wonderful.
Would be nice if he lost it all
Ay, old Chico is my jam. Haven't had it in a minute. I just looked it up and Total wine and more has it. I might have to make a journey to go get it. Haven't had it since I lived in the city of trees.
Target’s CEO pay ratio now stands at 753 to 1, with median employee pay at $27,090.
Article title sounds like an a abusive relationship.
I can think of other things this guy could use chopped.
For those of you not aware of Target's recent troubles, here is an astrophysicist explaining why they suck. : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPVSj9rcK-E With data!

Not enough. We need more pressure.
