What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers $15 an hour.” What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.” Funny how that works, huh?

San Francisco is a fast food desert because of the $20 minimum wage… Oh wait… never mind

Min wage should start at $25 We need actual real life actual livable wages ffs

We really can’t afford CEOs getting paid millions of dollars a year… or afford billionaires existing.

Yup

And $15 is just a start--not even a proper minimum wage. CEOs literally steal money that their workers have made.

There should be a cap on the amount the CEO can earn above the lowest paid worker. It used to be about 15:1 now it is more like 300:1 I challenge anyone to justify a figure of more than 20:1 including share options.

What I always hear: “we can’t build more housing in Berkeley.” What I should hear: nothing from you.
