Not to take away from your shower thought OP, but more to soften the blow (because yeah, we for sure are worshipping billionaire fucksticks like Elon Musk as a society), we are still awarding the Nobel Prize to people who make strides in scientific areas that benefit humanity.
The reward for a Nobel prize is about 900k€, shared between the winner of a given prize. The last ceo of the cac40 in France makes 1400k€/year. The average for the cac40 is 4500k€/year. That’s a salary btw, there probably are other revenues with that.
Oh no!!! I didn’t know it was split between all 3 of them! I thought each were given around $1M. That is still not enough for their contributions to society (especially in lieu of billionaires who do nothing), but it’s especially obscene that they all get closer to $300K instead.
