Wait, are you saying you think CEO getting paid millions (for doing very little if anything at all) is fine, but paying teachers and nurses and so on a living wage is "cheap"?

I believe what they're saying is that the issue isn't a lack of people able to do the job, it's a lack of people willing to do the job under the current system

I thought that at first, but the more I read it the more I got confused about who they were directing their comment at.
Could be I just misunderstood (E: though it looks like I'm not the only one, so maybe there is something a little off in the phrasing?).

All CEOs earning millions will insist that being a CEO of just as much of a full-time job as any other position... while being CEOs for multiple companies they own.
