Good with the change in California. I have seen a time trend where upper management started to get paid $100k per year, then it was $250k per year, $500k, $1M, $10M. Then executives started motivating their VP salary with comparison of executive peers they have $500k so I should also have $500k or higher. This causes income inequality which causes tensions in society. In the past these type of income equality would be Kings, Noble men, then we transitioned to a period of more equality. Now its back again. You could say Kings and noble men have changed to ->high VP management layer in large corporations. I think the term is Feudalism, where the ruling class has changed to VP from Noble men, Kings. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo-medievalism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo-medievalism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feudalism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feudalism High income inequality tears societies apart, I would advise not to go in that direction. In page 5 of this Worldbank paper on income ineqality vs violent crime rate you can see a plot between inequality Gini coefficient, where a high number Gini is high inequality and crime rite. High income inequality is linked to high crime rates. https://siteresources.worldbank.org/DEC/Resources/Crime&Inequality.pdf https://siteresources.worldbank.org/DEC/Resources/Crime&Ineq...
