    CEO’S are propped up by investors and guaranteed the money invested traces back to some sort of nepotism.

      Which is the way it’s designed to work, so not cheating.

      Also, the definition of nepotism involves favoring relatives. I get what you mean, but it’s not quite accurate. There’s certainly favoritism going on, just not between relatives generally.

        Here’s a common definition of neoptism:

        Undue attachment to relations; favoritism shown to members of one’s family; bestowal of patronage in consideration of relationship, rather than of merit or of legal claim.

        Maybe I sprung the word “cheat” on you too soon, but ‘nepotism is cheating’ is a brief a summation of my argument.

          1. What’s going on with overpaid CEOs and underpaid workers is not nepotism

          2. cheating means breaking of rules, and they’re not

          You can argue that we should change rules to disincentivize some of the behaviors we’re seeing and to make them “cheating”. And I would’t argue against you if we could somehow make those improvements. But if you’re framing “cheating” as against yours or my personal moral framework instead of law, that is not something you can expect everyone to agree with you on.

            This is actually the supposition of my question.

            But you’re not cracking the surface and it’s honestly really boring exchanging ideas with you. I don’t think I’ll carry on.
