   Raised a Catholic & was taught to hold my hands folded when praying. But after a few years in parochial school and many masses it became clear very, very few prayed that way, including most priests. Over time in real life when I saw this, it was people high-fiving.

   From 1978–2023, top CEO compensation shot up 1,085%, compared with a 24% increase in a typical worker’s compensation.  In 2023, CEOs were paid 290 times as much as a typical worker—in contrast to 1965, when they were paid 21 times as much as a typical worker.  That CEOs were paid nearly 10 times as much as the top 0.1% of U.S. wage earners in 2022 illustrates just how distorted CEO pay increases have become.

    God has provided clear & simple tests to see if we follow His two main commandments, His other 10 with specific guidelines, and His Son’s Sermon on the Mount. Yes, simple. The more one rationalizes reason to not do so, well, the more daily failures there are. Sadly, how most people responds to these daily tests indicates that Heaven won’t be crowded.
