Income transparency increases the chances of becoming a victim of a crime.
- nokya 5y agoFully agree. And tbh I am quite astonished to see so many comments in this page that seem to advocate otherwise. Disclosing salaries with identities can endanger many individuals, and not because they cheated the system or committed a crime. It feels like advocating for full disclosure on who bets on what in stock trading.

- nokya 5y agoIn my opinion, there is a difference between living in a country where all salary information is assumed public (and all personal decisions taken accordingly), and a country where salary information was kept confidential from people around you until it was abruptly made public without notice. I am really trying to understand how both situations could feel the same to you but...I guess I would need some help convincing.
