      yes CEOs need to get paid less but it beats around the bush on the real issues keeping workers down and getting CEOs’ salaries lowered does not mean anything will trickle down

      what about the minimum wage, worker’s rights, healthcare, parental leave, sick leave

      this ignores lots of other issues

      what about the fast food places that are using AIs in the drive throughs instead of paying living wages

      just like when unemployment goes down and a president touts job creation never minding the fact they are usually factory jobs with pay that does not match labor or conditions let alone be a livable wage and are usually in the South where regulations are less and the workers have less rights/pay

        “I disagree with something because it doesn’t address other issues” makes no sense.

        Do you not support gay marriage because it doesn’t increase minimum wage? Do you not support abortion protection laws because they don’t include sick leave?

          it does not address the whole issue entire no

          choosing a band aid when you are gushing blood from a huge open wound is not a fix

          not even baby steps
