    I think work that requires you to study and learn and experience for ages should be paid higher than work you can do without prior experience or know-how.

    But you know, reasonably higher. Like 3x at most.

      This is my stance. If you’re working full time you should get a living wage. If you’ve got more experience or have learned more specialized skills then you should get more on top of that baseline living wage. I think 3x is less than what I would set the cap as but when I say that I’m thinking of people with highly specific technical skills or medical professionals, not CEOs. 3x is a fine cap for them.

      I don’t care much about pay differences, as long as everybody can afford to live comfortably and nobody can afford to buy politicians.
