Cut CEO and Executive Pay to increase competition in the market.

Cutting minimum wage is punitive bullshit.

    One is the free market and the other isn't.

    What really needs to happen is have absolute visibility on people's wages and job advertisements.

    CEOs compete on wage because they can see each others wage.

    I'm not against removing the minium wage but I do support ubi in that case.

    Yeah I'm not allowed to tell my co-workers what I earn.

    Of course I do anyway because what are they going to do about it? It's called Glassdoor and while its interface may be one of the worst designed websites on the internet, it is a valuable resource.
