Galloway: Underpaid young talent is corporate America's second-biggest arbitrage
“The ultimate arbitrage in our economy is fossil fuels, but the second of that is finding young, super hardworking, super talented people who are better with technology and paying them 30% of what you're paying Bob, who's a forty-year-old, and they do 90, they …”
Galloway: Elon Musk is not a good role model for men
“I also think he should be held accountable for his coarseness and his cruelty. I don't think you attain that level of power such that you cannot pay people their legally obligated severance. I don't think you accuse an employee of being a sex criminal such tha…”
