  • I think 5 is maybe an over-ambitious goal.

    I don’t really mind a 50:1 cap, or even a 100:1 cap. I can understand how experienced leadership of a large scale multinational corporation should be compensated more than 5x the amount of a 16 year old part time cashier in a town of 2200 people.

    Even think about it from an age demographic/experience point of view. How much more should someone make doing the same job for 40 years than the new hire with no experience? In a lot of fields, I don’t feel like it would be unfair for that scale to go 4:1. Now factor that into the consideration of the varying different positions, the ratio has got to be higher.

    And in the face of abhorrent 2100:1 ratios, I think a 100:1 ratio is low enough to make a meaningful difference and high enough that no one can sensibly argue against it.










  • Fun fact! My coworker pays more in rent for his apartment than I do on the mortgage of my house. Most often this is true.

    I’m getting a once over by the bank, he’s getting done once over by the bank and again by his landlord, and they might not ever be different.

    So how is an immigrant supposed to thrive when a foreign investment firm is profiting off them twice?

    Subsidize affordable housing, tax wholesale & foreign landlords out of existence. It’s simple.
