Megyn Kelly to NBC for $15million/yr

[dank69]

No the brainwashing that you've received that makes it impossible for you to have any objectivity. I mean I know you think you do, but from here, it's obvious you don't. See how that brainwashing works?

Oh, probably not...

I guess I'll go ask my parents to thump me on the head with their Bibles until I can see as clearly as you do.

 

[dank69]

Lulz, I approve of the OP edit Blackjack.

 

[FIVR]

So if Megyn Kelly makes $15M a year, why are liberals still complaining about a "wage gap"?




You can't explain that.

 

[Blackjack200]

Obviously there's no issue with African American wages because black basketball players make more than the white players.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Oh I see. You think Megyn acquired this salary by exploiting all the little people that work for her. How's the weather in your retarded universe?

Roughly what percentage of CEOs do you believe earn massive salaries by exploiting their workers?

 

[ivwshane]

Wow! This move really affected the brain dead idiots! Look at them grasp at anything to try and make sense of their world.


Hopefully this move will turn Kelly into a competent reporter.

 

[ivwshane]

Roughly what percentage of CEOs do you believe earn massive salaries by exploiting their workers?

Probably the same percentage that commit welfare fraud or the percent of corrupt cops. Its not a lot but it's the bad apples you always hear about.

 

[dank69]

Roughly what percentage of CEOs do you believe earn massive salaries by exploiting their workers?

Roughly? Roughly all of the ones that offshore labor for starters. Is that not enough? How about all the ones that don't pay their workers in proportion to their productivity? Those two things should get us pretty fucking close to 100%, don't you think?

I was personally a witness to one, that's for goddamned sure. He lied to our faces when he came onboard, eventually helped broker a deal to sell the company. Many, many people lost their jobs and he got a massive bonus.

A lot of offshored jobs are highly valued in other nations. If I'm an engineer in India and can get paid well above-average for my nation's standard of living, I don't care that Americans still make more than me in absolute dollars. Which companies don't pay their workers according to their value, and why can't their workers find a competing business to leave for? If you're talking about Nike sweatshops that's one thing, but there are plenty of businesses with much more valuable products and workers.

Roughly what percentage of offshored jobs do you think fall into your highly valued category? LOL. I also notice you ignored the whole productivity part of my post...

 

[OutHouse]

a channel that demands absolute devotion to the Republican party

thats bullshit.

 

[OutHouse]

What am I suing them for exactly? Teaching me how to effectively compare and contrast different situations?

you failed that lecture.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

thats bullshit.

They are not a propaganda outlet for the GOP.

This 100%

Labor arbitrage is natural and we should applaud companies for taking advantage of market inefficiencies in order to increase shareholder value. Ultimately, with free trade and globalism, these arbitrages dry up and we end up with a fairly standard wage rate across the globe for all types of labor.

There are two ways to eliminate the arbitrage, you let its run its course to where the wage rate equalizes itself, or you implement tariffs to cancel out any labor difference.

Productivity is not a metric for which people get paid. It is basically supply and demand. An engineer in a low standard of living area used to making $15,000 equivalent gets offered $25,000 he will take that job, and he will replace somebody in the USA that will PRODUCE the same work but was making $100,000 a year. The "value" of their production is you being distracted by circumstances not relevant to labor cost.

 

[desura]

$15 million is a lot.

It is also a lot more than what Maddow makes. Should be interesting. I regularly watch Maddow, and she takes a pretty strict no drama line on internal politics, but this will make things tricky for her.

This is a fascinating move. Kelly is one of the Crown Jewels of Fox News.

Layoffs suck, but it's always been my understanding (based on anecdotal experience with an advisor-of-an-advisor that sold his company, and general talks with other biotech-aware professors) that pharmaceutical companies usually have the ultimate goal of being bought up by a big one, because it's the Pfizers and Mercks of the world that can shoulder the costs of actually getting a drug onto the market. It's usually the one drug that strikes gold that makes a company appealing to purchase, not their workforce. We don't live in a world where one goes through apprenticeship, gets close with the business owner, gradually working their way up until retirement in the same town 40 years later, moving around is part of how things work now.

My second sentence addressed your productivity question. If these hypothetical workers are really that productive, assuming they work in an industry that doesn't suffer from labor monopsony (e.g. Nike or Walmart where anyone with a pulse and four limbs can work), I don't see why they can't find work elsewhere.

 

[hal2kilo]

Apparently you need to sue your teachers, too. Any person who makes a lot of money is the same as someone who destroys other people's lives to make a lot of money if you just don't focus on the differences.

Have you got a clue to what you said that triggered him?

you asked, I answered, I even gave a specific example. I know how things work. I've been in IT long enough to know just how expendable people are, especially to scummy, egotistical ceo's

 

[zinfamous]

Damn, Megyn Kelley still triggering conservatives and alt-righters in this thread!

 

[dank69]

Just being a liberal is enough to trigger boomerang.

 

[brycejones]

Just not being knob gobbling conservacuck is enough to trigger boomerang.

FTFY

That's reality; we're all expendable to varying degrees. We will all die, and a few generations afterwards, 99.99999% of us will not even be thought about by our descendants.

 

[brycejones]

Good for her

 

[Commodus]

thats bullshit.

Thanks for your constructive, intelligent response.

Never mind that it's widely documented that Fox serves as a mouthpiece for the Republican party, and that both Murdoch and (at least until recently) Ailes insist that their political views are manifested in every media outlet they run...
