Just heard there are no merit raises this year bc the company is hurting. Started looking for a new position since I doubt they will make up for the lack of a raise next year.
Why does the plane not have overhead compartments but one long open compartment? Everything is gonna go everywhere when it takes off and lands and luggage is gonna be all over the darn place, falling on people’s heads and whatnot.
And by pay employees less, what do you mean? Like relative to inflation? Or is there a company that actually lowered hourly wages?
I can sort of agree with the charge more part I guess. But it’s pretty obvious that inflation is largely caused by increasing the money supply. This has been shown repeatedly throughout history and isn’t really debatable unless I’m missing something. It’s sort of like how the more slices you cut a pizza into, the smaller the slices become. Charging more for the pizza, paying the pizza employees less or the pizza company making more money doesn’t impact slice size unless they increase the number of slices or the size of the pizza itself.
Haha what? This was a hypothetical comparison of the number of pizza slices per pizza and inflation. These pizza employees do not exist, but if they did I would support them being paid more not less.
It does when the price of things goes up (especially on essentials) and creates profits and no one is paid enough to live but creates those profits.
If my employer refuses to pay me a living wage even though they can, I can't magically buy a new car if I need one, especially if the prices on cars went up by, example, 30%. ESPECIALLY if my employer refuses to pay me more.
It's inflated TWICE actually because the price goes up normally, and again because my pay did not increase. My pay actually took a loss because it didn't get raised enough to be proportional to x% inflation.
This is why rightoids don’t care what leftists have to say about the economy fam. It doesn’t matter to them if your overall point is correct when you go around redefining words to fit the agenda just because you don’t know the actual terms.
You could have tossed out terms like purchasing power, cost of living, or even just slapped “effective” in front of inflation to sound like you remember your high school economics but instead you decided to call a deflationary pressure double inflation.
I went to private religious school dude, we did rosaries, not economics.
This is under the "I don't have to be a pilot to know an airplane doesn't belong in a tree" stuff, and if righties don't acknowledge basics like that, THAT is why we can't have nice things.
You’re missing a shitload. “Government bad” ideological blinders will do that though, so here’s some info to get caught up in case you’re capable of a good faith discussion or just want to know what is really happening:
