Should companies pay dividends if worker pay isn't even keeping pace with inflation? If your answer is also HELL NO, then you'd be interested in this concept.

The Wage Lock: companies should not distribute profits to shareholders unless employee pay has increased at least in line with inflation.

Little policy idea - if shareholders are residual claimants let’s make this real. Distributions (dividends, buybacks etc) should only take place if wages keep pace with inflation

A policy idea: a 'Wage Lock'

Putting some meat on the bones of the 'residual claimant' idea

Bernie did a bad job debating Rogan on climate. He failed to say that it's the [very few] scientists who cast doubt on human-caused climate change THAT ARE ACTUALLY THE ONES EARNING THE BIG BUCKS (via fossils funding). And scientists who demonstrate that climate change is real aren't getting rich.

I think the same thing played out with vaccine science. At some point, you either trust or distrust the scientific institutions.

Erinch Sahan @erinchsahan.bsky.social · Jun 30

Climate is a bit different. You can see some of its impacts, but some of these also happened before industrialisation (some extreme weather, changes in weather patterns...). So if you don't trust scientists, how how do you decide on which storms & heat-waves would have happened anyway?

Erinch Sahan @erinchsahan.bsky.social · Jun 30

Why does #nature cut through but not #climate?

Loss of forests, sea-life, healthy soils, real food... this is all tangible. It's easier to believe the science on this.

1.2m companies in the US employing 58m people could transition into #EmployeeOwnership (1/3rd of the US civilian labour force).

For investors, it's a $1 trillion investment opportunity.

A huge opportunity to build wealth & resilience.
