CNBCs Jim Cramer said Thursday that whatever happens on the other side of the coronavirus crisis CEOs should not benefit more than their employees.
I like anything that protects the workers, Cramer said on Squawk on the Street. We cannot have the fat cats make money at the expense of the workers.

Cuban, owner of the NBAs Dallas Mavericks and a Shark Tank investor, said bailed out companies should not be allowed to ever buy back their stocks again.
Not now. Not a year from now. Not 20 years from now. Not ever, he said. Because effectively youre spending taxpayer money to buyback stock and to me thats just the wrong way to do that.

(17,006 posts)loans. This is the direct result of bailing out the banks. Business leaned it could continue to engage in risky behavior, like not having a rainy day fund, because it wouldnt have to pay the consequences. Every single parent on the planet understands why bailing their kid out of trouble is a bad idea. We learn to avoid things that hurt. If it never hurts well keep right on doing the same thing. This needs to hurt and it needs to hurt the ones responsible for the bad choices, CEOs VPs, CFOs ...everybody at the top.

Little pay for lots of work, lo pay for lots of work, moderate pay for lots of work... Good pay for lots of work??? FIRED.. Higher two for the price of one...... repeat..
