Oh my fucking God. What do you think we are talking about here?

Guy said lower ceo pay to increase the ratio.

Pay ceo 400,000, workers wages stay the same. How the fuck does that help?

Pay ceo 15 million and pay workers 485,000. Same ratio. Now we got somewhere.

People who want to enforce equality by imposing a ceiling are stupid. Impose equality by raising the floor. Who gives a fuck about the ceiling?
