I think we should be setting these max/min wages as relative values, not absolute values. Otherwise we have to pass laws every time the min wage needs to be adjusted. And we'll end up with stagnation.

For example, a person's wage can only be X% higher than the lowest wage of someone a step below them in hierarchy. Including contractors and suppliers so they can't skirt or find loopholes.

There still might be some haywire incentives that require more thought, but it should hopefully encourage labor to be valued at an appropriate proportion of value. Either everyone makes good money, or nobody does.

Should also probably deincentivize layoffs, stock buybacks, etc. at the cost of shareholder earnings / value.

Say genocide A was 100 million and genocide B was 500 million. You can save A, B, or neither. Which do you pick?

Hint: there's only one right answer.

The ideology theoretically is. Socially liberal and fiscally conservative.

And "drug abuse" is also language that is used by politicians or police to dehumanize homeless people.

Yes there's a technical term obviously, but like "retard" or "cripple", there's negative connotations that get in the way.
