Replace that price cap with a wage cap for the people at the top that is based on the wages of everyone else in the company and companies it contracts (to avoid the obvious loophole as well as giving an actual mechanism for “trickle down”).
-
Establish a wage floor.
-
Establish a price cap.
If the corporation can’t make a profit from this, then perhaps their business model was not viable in the first place.

How is the price cap determined?

A price cap seems to be based on the premise that not having a service at all is better then having it be too expensive. I find that idea very questionable.

“Let’s treat our workers like slaves or else the entire economy will suffer” is a far worse take IMHO.
