I get your point, and I might agree, but again: That image doesn't make that point. It this was a cooperative where all profits are share equally, it would look the same. Maybe he could afford 4 or 5, big deal. Point remains, he thinks he makes the things, whatever they are, but he doesn't. He does one step in a huge chain of steps. The materials, the machine, the logistics, the R&D. You even acknowledge it, but you boil it down to only the stockholders. Which, again, do profit, and, again, that's a thing one might discuss. But you make it sound like that's the main issue here, when it's not. Margins are not that high.
He probably is underpayed, but that image does not make any reasonable argument to issue. It illustrates labor division if anything at all. If I am the last one on the assembly line of Ford, wondering why I can't afford ten cars an hour is just idiotic.
Again, he probably is underpaid, and people are probably making too money from his work, but that doesn't make that image make sense.
American are like "cut 37/64 and 52 thousandths of an inch off your 2 by 4 inch piece of wood, that's obviously not 2 by 4 inches", and don't get me started on wire gauge.
Ubuntu really makes it hard to keep liking it. They keep pushing bullshit like snap.
