The Real Criminals

Also armed bank robbery is VERY heavily punished. In some places armed robbery with a gun (even a fake gun) can be punished by LIFE in prison.

For the record, it's specifically CEOs of S&P 500 companies that make an average of ~18 million/yr.

Highest-Paid CEOs - 2024 | AFL-CIO

The Standard and Poor's 500 is ~500 of the largest companies in the country that are publicly traded. It does not include the vast majority of CEO positions in the US, just the biggest.

Because that number was totally pulled out of their butt.

You're choosing ad hominem

That thief probably stole from a low to medium income family tho

[danielquinn@lemmy.ca]

Who do you think the rich steal from?

The source looks like https://linktr.ee/massesutd though the dude doesn't appear to have a website, just links to a bunch of gated websites that I can't access without an account.

If police and prisons made societies safer the USA would be the safest society on the planet.

You and I hear life in prison, a homeless person hears shelter for life

[roidingoldman@lemmy.world]

On a global scale this is probably one of the safest times in human history, and the USA is safer than most.

Cop: "So anyway I started blastin"

[samus12345@lemmy.world]

Cops serve the ruling class. It's why they're trying so hard to find the CEO killer.

[stinky@redlemmy.com]

You're using relativism to disprove the idea that overpolicing doesn't make us safer? My goodness!

[mkwt@lemmy.world]

Some folks will rob you with a six gun, and some will rob you with a fountain pen.

and the USA is safer than most.

People with jobs serve their paycheck. People with authority let it go to their heads. Cops are the combination of the two.

[zerotwo@lemmy.world]

I felt much safer in Japan more than I ever did in the US.

[roidingoldman@lemmy.world]

One lie I've heard over and over in my life is how unsafe everything is. Small town people think the cities are unsafe. City people think the small towns are unsafe. They're not. They're actually fine. It's a scare tactic. The media over reports crime. Look at any crime statistics and you'll see, yes, some recent spikes. As always. But if you're watching the news you'd think we've been in a perpetual crime spike since the 1960's or so. It's a safer world right now than it was 50 and 100 years ago.

The USA is, in fact (even if it upsets you) one of the safest societies in the history of the world. Only behind other modern 1st world nations.
