re: #575 RadicalModerate

Two competing interests here.

Barra is more qualified for the position, and is getting paid less than her predecessor (a male). That goes to gender equality issues that corporate world has long had issues addressing.

The second is the gap between employee wages and those of executives.

If Barra’s salary, along with the rest of the GM leadership were brought down to the same level, then it would actually address both simultaneously.

Instead, the hire shows just how both are still pretty screwed up.
