The often-cited notion that a warehouse worker has even remotely the same responsibility as a company CEO is just straight-up fiction. Ergo, their jobs are incomparable.



I'm not so sure. Stakes may be higher but feels like CEO performance doesn't correlate strongly to education, past experience, class, or anything really. So perhaps a random lottery--with some IQ floor--and lower pay would be a win-win for companies and workers.

Do you think any shareholders would vote for such a strategy?


My guess is corporations will fight any sane limits to their power and accumulation of wealth. And those at the top of corporations even more so. Which is why we have a government to balance the needs of the many against the consolidated power of the few who would exploit them
