(20,453 posts)5. Does that inequality have reasoning behind it?
Or perhaps its because employee wages in cities would hardly have to adjust (Pittsburgh's mayor is a recent example). Most city/municipal employees are at that level to begin with.

(19,877 posts)6. Probably because population = profit.
A store on Broadway in NYC will get 5000x the foot traffic as a store in Dubuque Iowa.

(20,453 posts)7. People work equally to deliver services at either of those locations...
Still trying to see the equality here...
