how does making only $435k hurt?
You're not even worth time responding to but the simplest way it hurts is the fact that we are a capitalistic economy and putting caps on compensation, especially for high earners who are worth it, is communism.
You do realize that some people make a company 10+ times what they earn and worth the money they are paid?
It's the same as the pro sports. Athletes that put people in the stands and sell merchandise are paid more than the guys coming up from the minors to fill in.

Do you believe share buybacks in any way affect executive compensation?

Whole time, its the people who need help and aren't getting it. Our politicians are 95% terrible and out of touch with what people need and want.
If someone was planning to run for high office at some point in their career, now would be a perfect time to come out and blast both sides and highlight the American workers. The public would never forget their name, for sure.
I think the public have had about enough of this bickering between the two. Unfortunately, the politicians don’t listen to a word the public says or wants so there’s really nothing we can do about it.

Cool, companies should use that money during the downturn and not ask the government for a handout.

Scruffy isn’t saying that we should bail everyone out, but phrase it correctly.
We have shed over one third of the stock market because people freaked the frick out and couldn't remain calm.

Both parties are trying to pass more shite than they should, typical government abusing crisis legislation.
They'll find a compromise.

and not increased executive pay/bonuses.
No one disagrees on this FYI and Trump said he is against it being used for this.
This isn't what the Dems are proposing. They want to take someone that is already a high earner and cap them moving forward. They also want you to have race and gender restrictions on the board of directors even if they aren't the most qualified for the position.

And yet people will look at you like you’re nuts if you’re disillusioned and don’t bother voting.

Dems added a lot of pork like funding for abortions, forgiving USPS debt, they want gender and race minimums for the board of directors at public companies, and they want to set caps on executive compensation.
Way more than that but that is some highlights.

Absolutely it does. It depends on the bonus structure, but I would venture to say that stock prices are tied to bonuses. They should not be able to do stock buybacks with the money. It should be put in an escrow for capital expenditure.

Standard advice is every person should have a 6 month emergency fund to live off of if they lose their job, have a health issue...etc.
Why is it so unreasonable to expect companies to have at least a 2 month emergency fund?

So who should we bail out and who gets to fend for themselves?
Are we cutting checks to highly leveraged companies who are run poorly while the responsible companies that can survive the downturn get nothing? Are we cutting checks to everyone?
