    I’m not saying he is making obscene money

    Then I am: he is making obscene money. Converted that’s like 125k GBP, you can buy a house for cash every 3 years in the UK from that much money O.o (Ok, every 6 years if you spend half of it one living costs.) It’s almost 7 times the minimum wage here.

      Employees have to pay for basically everything in the US, so salaries have to be a lot higher here. School, childcare, healthcare, retirement, you name it. Also, all those things are more expensive here because they’re provided by companies that need to make a profit. It sucks.

      yeah every 3 years is too much!

      … well, tax so

      every 5 years then!

      … oh right rent he’d pay in the interim

      fine every 7 years!

      … ahhhh food costs money too!

      okay okay every 8 years!

      … i guess people do tend to pay bills

      every 9 years!

      … it’s not reasonable to be a shut in for those 6 years and being social costs money

      every 10 years!

      I make only slightly less than that in American dollars and I’m not at all close to running a company. I’m very solidly lower middle class I will also not be buying a hour for another 5-6 years.

      That is a very modest amount of money for his role.
