The Neo-Liberal media needs way more guilt over what they do. It's like putting Elon Musk in an Iron Man movie or on Rick and Morty, the media too often act as propaganda for the system - they should be running stories about how it's on CEOs to run Just companies that have livable wages.
There needs to he laws that dictate the maximum ratio a CEO can be paid.

The destructive forces of deregulation and financialization have destroyed so much of what makes life worth living in the modern west. And there is no end in sight- no political movement has the power to compete, the political system is fully corrupted, not even a heroic Luigi to put fear into our financial oligarchs.
So my question is this: where does this end up? Technofeudalism? Revolution? Sci Fi dystopia?
