When we reestablish rule of law in the US, one of the reforms we should make is a law capping CEO compensation (salary, options, etc) as a fixed multiple of that of the lowest paid worker (employee, IC, whatever.)
If CEOs couldn’t make more than 20x the minimum pay, you’d see wages skyrocket.

The Institute for Policy Studies analyzed the 100 companies in the S&P 500 with the lowest median pay & found that overall CEO compensation increased nearly 35% over five yrs, outpacing employees' gains.
At those 100 companies,the average CEO-to-worker pay gaphit 632 to 1 last yr.

So it appears DOGE has decreed that Social Security administration will no longer provide phone support. At all. This is in addition to shutting down a ton of local SSA offices. www.axios.com/2025/03/17/s...
