Congresswoman Katie Porter grills billionaire CEO over pay disparity at JP Morgan

OMG! Katie Porter for President! NOW!!!

How about that 1600 dollars a month for a one bedroom? Im from middle Ohio it is just hard to make sense of the property valuations in other places. You used to have the low rent part of town and the high side... You live in the low rent side of town til you can afford to get a nicer place. It appears as though the low rent stuff went out the window almost everywhere really and wages don't keep up with the general cost of living. You could easily turn that around and say the cost of living outpace the wages and blame the owners of the land that you are buying from. Economics is complicated, but one thing is for certain, you look at a person like this Bank executive and they have one thing on their mind.. Shareholder value. That can come from anywhere as long as it isn't their own paycheck and that is the giant FU we feel in this country every day.

This right here made a future President, if we have a soul in America still

"I don't know I'd have to think about it"
She's asking you to think about it right now, my guy.

The single mother should have made better life decisions. Its not JP Morgan's fault.

Hate to sympathize with the rich guy, but this dumb employee is paying $1600 a month rent? Maybe she should move away from california

Thanks for standing up for people who are making less than minimum wage. Shame on jp Morgan.

If it were a man hed be homeless. So lets stop parading women, society already does that. Lets keep it real

She may have my job one day. Bro you may live in a movie but we dont

Yesss!! Katie Porter for Senate!!!🎉🎉

So this woman's whole idea is to have somebody else. Pay for someone else's expenses and this isn't California. Where things are through the roof thank you, Gavin Newsome.
Or she could find another job. The woman that is in question or maybe a second job we've all been there. I can remember working 3 jobs at 1 time. But I made it raising a soon

She’s so intelligent and always has her act together I just love her so much. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

One of the "Master of the Universe" type and the obvious answer of raising wages by $4/hr, which would more then cover this budget shortfall, never occur unless "he thought about it"🙄

She should educate herself. It’s not the banks fault she has a 6 year old and just started working.

The basic living expenses for any given person need to be re-evaluated in this country. The “market basket” from 1940 won’t do!
Besides shelter, food, clothing and medical expenses, there are toiletries, household needs, transportation expenses, other insurance as needed. Please feel free to add others, as I know this is not an all inclusive list.
The reality is that the pay gap between CEOs and line workers has been growing for years!

Maybe she should be fighting high prices and the overspending (of our money) by her colleagues instead of attacking a self-made success. He is paying the amount that the market will bear. That’s how our system works. If she has the skills to earn more she should go do it elsewhere. Are demoncraps really this ignorant?

Where is her husband?

Does Potato Lady think she's Karl Rove or something?

I could watch democrats grill capitalists for hours and hours, but nothing is being done and the moment the hearing ends, everything goes back to business as usual

Go, Katie, go . . .

I guess they didn't record the part when she thanks him for giving a single mother a job.

He should have been like "She should just sell her body." Guarantee you, the entire place would have burst out laughing.

Katie for President.... As long as she doesn't go after bitcoin.

KATIE PORTER FOR PRESIDENT PLEASSSSE

She wants him to raise salaries for jobs meant for highschool graduates just because a single mom might be working in that position?

Oh well, study hard and get their job. Or maybe make better choices. What’s her husband make?

Congress can't grill billionaires about the pay gap because they are in the top 10% of income earners in America. Congress should earn the average income plus the increase in expected income for the American people. Which for 2024 is $68,000 and not $174,000 which they have been paying themselves SINCE 2009!!!

The problem is they are in California moved to different state

Man, That's so funny !!! why don't we have these things in India 😂😂😂😂? Would love to question Murthy and other

I would’ve told him you’re making in two days what I make in a year! I can figure it out. Why can’t you pay her more money!
I think you’re overpaid if you can’t figure that out

I would vote for her to be president of amerka

It’s not the bank’s problem to solve an employee’s personal problems.. she needs to get a new job if she is not happy with her salary, a free market works both ways.

tell this to BIDEN

If it was scripted I would give that woman a raise

Was this scripted dad???

Whose fault is it that a one-bed apartment is $1600?

I love Katie Porter

So even if a company makes record profits and doesn't raise worker pay, then should taxpayers make up the shortfall by subsidizing food stamps?

They are so rich. She is rich.

This is dumb

these reps are just cockroachs and they waste take payers money💩💩

So he is somehow responsible for her decision to have a child at a time she couldn’t afford to.

If JP Morgan Chase gave each of its employees (294,000 approximately) a $1 per hour raise, that would reduce the bottom line by $611M before payroll tax.

Let me try to break it down.
He said This woman's job is generally for high-school pass out. (Generally, an internship I guess). This means her age is 17-19 years old. How does she have a 6-year-old kid? Let's say If she is an older woman then she should find a different job.

I dont blame the CEOs. I blame US the people. WE let these people get away with it.

Pay for work should be based on the merits of the person's work, not on the person's living expenses. Any shortfall in living expenses over pay is the job of the social programs of the government, not the private sector.

"Would you recommend giving your employees a raise?"

"i don't know, i'd have to think about it"

If ur job doesn’t pay enough for you to pay your bills then it isn’t up to your job to pay you more, it’s up to you to follow a new path.

He never thought about his employees at the bottom. Unfortunately it is psychopaths like him that rise to the top.

Move to Texas
