Turn the argument on yourself.

Do you think we can’t get a competent CEO for less than $170k/year? If so, why?

The answer is yes, considering how many people work harder for less. There’s nothing particularly difficult or unique about this guys’ position that justifies his salary.

The only reason he’s able to get it is because suckers like you are willing to pay for it.

I’m going to ignore you now. Tools are never going to learn from their mistakes or recognize how they’re being played.
