@rbreich Because McDonald's sells ~550 Million Bic Macs and employs ~1,3 Million people in the US alone.
The CEO's pay comes to ~0.035$ per Big Mac. Assuming a pay raise for every employee of just 1000$/year (0.5$/h at 8h/d, 250d/y), amounts to 1,3 bn$/year or ~2,3$/Big Mac.
Don't get me wrong. I am all for raising the wage of workers. It's just that 19,2M$/y is surprisingly low, e.g. compared to Elons ridiculous 56bn$ bonus.
