        What difference would it make if CEO got a minimum wage if there is no stable income stream for the company regardless?

          Because having a CEO earning 100x of an average employee disincentivizes looking for stable, consumer-friendly income streams.

          Why would the leadership want that, the only way they can continue paying themselves that much money is by sucking big tech’s tit.
