Re: Proposal for a New Law

This reminds me of companies that had to have a limited gap between the minimum and maximum wage employees way back.

The solution was to fire all of the cleaners and low paid jobs, and hire outsourcing services to do those jobs, thereby eliminating low paid jobs entirely; pay rises were awarded all around for the C suite for their huge progress in closing the wage gap within the company almost overnight exceeding what anybody thought was possible.

Of course, the actual low paid workers were actually worse off as a result, but that's never stopped schemes like this before.
