I’d even say that this illustrates the success even more…
So Lemmy as a whole is alive and healthy - and successful.

It was an opinion piece by a guest columnist.
That an editor then chose to publish. What’s your point?
Hindsight is always 20/20
Thanks for the explanation. It kind of makes sense, but I’ll still try to play devil’s advocate… If people only get slightly more than 60 percent of the value they create, is the rest really only there to make the rich people richer or is it being used to pay off a loan the company might have gotten to pay for a large machine or something? With the bank receiving, obviously, the excess money, which they then use to pay their employees and buildings etc? These numbers seem to suggest that all money that isn’t paid to employees directly feeds the greedy ruling class, but it isn’t mentioned explicitly and maybe the excess money goes somewhere else as well? Not trying to say it has to be like that, just trying to get a better understanding.
Vets aren’t organised as a free market in Germany. Instead, prices are set by the federal government through the “Gebührenordnung für Tierärztinnen und Tierärzte (GOT)”.
I have no idea how that makes any sense.
First of all, according to your link, the richer countries seem to already be at much higher values, second I have no idea where that 50 percent value comes from even if we ignore the variety in distribution over the various countries.
Germany recently declared horses are no longer work animals but recreational, hiking vet prices astronomically. Also, horses might be driven around now but I’m sure there were more of them when 90% of the population were farmers and they all needed some of them.
The pain is still real.
I only started to look at it and am already pissed. So I stopped because it would probably only make me exen more angry. What a lying piece of dirt.
