It’s sad to see the worth and value of CEOs suffer because of rising minimum wage. Many people don’t understand that not all CEOs are super billionaires like Jeff Bezos (now retired), Bill Gates (retired a while ago) or Elon Musk. Companies in the bottom of the top 100 Forbes richest U.S. companies only make millions, not including automatic stock options not based on performance but negotiated up front worth quadruple salary and can separation pay in the low millions if fired for bad performance or harassing employees. This leaves them with the pressure of feeling like they can’t by super-yachts or Swiss skiing chalets. They have to rely on corporate jets and not privately owned jets. How can the workers feel when their CEO is being humiliated like this! Workers should realize sacrifice is important. And yes, if the federal government had to adjust for inflation for minimum wage automatically, the minimum wage would be $24 an hour and not $7.25. While it looks like Congress has repressed that wage growth, what they have actually done is kept companies afloat and help provide jobs. We do not want to end up like the Germans, where manufacturing jobs pay over $60 an hour with full benefits and all of August off, and yet they still suffer from worker shortages. What a disaster! American wage earners are greedy for sure and they are still demanding health insurance and retirement funds.
