          CEO pay and worker pay aren’t intrinsically linked. Paying a CEO less doesn’t mean workers will magically get paid more.

          Workers are paid based on the market value of their labor cost.

          CEO pay should be capped, but because the market is unhinged from reality and needs a check for overall business health, not because of anything to do with worker salaries.

          If CEOs made $0 there is no reason to assume employee wages would increase.

                  I’m not understanding how this ties into any sort of disconnect in regards to jobs.

                  You’re just ranting at me and not making any cogent points

            CEO pay should be capped

            Probably the best way to do this is to have a union with a strong enough position within the company, forcing the owners to distribute the companies profits more equitably.

                  Take a breath big guy. You’re rambling.

                  This is you not liking the outcome of the existing labor market, not a denial of its reality.

      Whats the actual worth of a competent CEO? Do you think you can calculate his value after reading two articles and some arbitrary numbers?

      I know I am stupid but not that stupid to think I can judge a persons salary within minutes.

      I’m honestly not trying to be antagonistic, I think I agree with you for the most part here.

      But how can you have an interpretation of math? Isn’t math objective? Isn’t math the key to all rationalization?I don’t understand how there could be “neofeudalist” or capitalist or communist interpretations of math.
