1978–2022, top CEO pay increased 1,209.2%, typical worker's pay 15%

"In 2022, CEOs were paid 344 times as much as a typical worker in contrast to 1965 when they were paid 21 times as much as a typical worker.

To illustrate just how distorted CEO pay increases have gotten: In 2021, CEOs made nearly eight times as much as the top 0.1% of wage earners in the U.S."

Crony Capitalism at work. The wheel spins again and the people rise up for fairness. I reckon this cycle has been running as long as people have farmed.
