Well, it depends what you mean by "execs". As an example, if the CEO's salary were reduced to zero, that would net each driver ~$1/year. If the CEO's entire equity in the company were liquidated, that would net each driver a one-time payment of $11. Is that what you mean?

I'm certainly sympathetic to the argument that tech execs should be paid less because they simple aren't worth it, but that is very different from suggesting that somehow it would make a substantial difference in their workers' wages (it basically never would).

I think a bigger part of universal healthcare that is often unmentioned is the economic mobility people who currently have to stay in their shitty job for the health benefits will have once it happens. Yes it will cost money, but there are many benefits.

This isn't very empathetic. There are tons of variables that determine whether one job is "better" than another for any given person. It doesn't seem possible to have confidence that they're mostly all correlated with better health benefits, though of course many of them are.

Replying to @bentomeat @Jonathan_Blow and
We don't really need to talk about "empathy" here. I should think it would be generally the case that separating out a variable from cooptimization is always good, so separating the quality of your healthcare from the quality of your employment is highly likely to be a good idea.

You pretty much always get better results when you can optimize two independent things separately than if you have to optimize two coupled things.
