The so-called debate you've presented others has been composed mainly of you making half baked assertions and saying "nu uh" when called out on said ill cooked goods.
Given that, I wouldn't "debate" you either
That's okay Moros.....I don't consider you to be the sharpest either....as such....I really have no desire to debate you.
Minimalist is blinded by the hate within him....but I not ready to say that he is necessarily a dumb ass just yet. I would like to see how he is when he isn't hating.

That would amount to around $8,500 per worker, and it was profit that exists only because of the efforts of these workers. High-paid executives can't do everything. A huge chunk of that reported profit belonged to the workers, but they were only given little more than the bare minimum the company could get away with.
The company can absolutely afford to pay workers a living wage. They don't want to.
Are we talking about a "living wage" or the salary of CEO's? The claim in the OP is workers of the world are being fucked by high CEO salaries. I just don't believe this is the case and apparently the numbers do not support it.
CEO wages aren't the problem. Living Wages make some better at the expense of others and thus cause problems instead of solving them.
A universal basic income or negative income tax insures everyone has the ability to maintain a sufficient standard of living worthy of the dignity of a human being without monkeying in the markets.
