But you are ok with giving welfare to corporations and small business owners and their employees?!?! Prices will not rise as much as you think. It is a fear tactic to keep the status quo. You will bring a lot of people into the workforce if you offer a living wage. <br /><br />If you really think those "stimulus" payments kept people out of work, you are freaking crazy! You are out of touch with what it costs to live. Most states cut those payments off, and there are still plenty of "For Hire" signs posted on business doors. Are you crying about the PPP "loans" and other corporate welfare that was also given out? At most, those payments allowed people to be more selective about the possibilities. You do know that a lot of workers completely left the workforce due to death, disability, and retirement due to the pandemic. That allowed more jobs to open up. Because of travel restrictions, there is not as much cheap "immigrant" labor available to fill a lot of those slave wage openings. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-57739197134601472912022-01-22T15:30:43.722-06:002022-01-22T15:30:43.722-06:00Oh...but you'll quickly call me a dumbass and ...Oh...but you'll quickly call me a dumbass and tell us you didn't write it.

They hit us twice with the tax dollars we spend on welfare for their underpaid employees and the various tax breaks that they get. This is why I cannot stand any business not paying $14+/hr. It is damn near impossible to live on the current minimum wage. Wage slavery and thievery are the name of the game for certain sectors of corporate America and even small business owners. The scamdemic has opened some eyes, and people are realizing that they have been in the Matrix for far too long, and won't tolerate working to enrich business owners and corporations. The working person wants their slice of the pie, too.

Walmart prices their stores based on local economics at each store location. A local example would be take the Madison or Flowood store and do a walk through on Hwy 18 for example. Prices on selected items are different. This is a national pricing strategy for Wal*Mart. If they know one thing it how to squeeze a $ out of everybody, everything, landlords, developers, employees and local government <br /><br /><br />When as Merchandising Coordinator for the CL (long ago) we were pressured to charge less at some stores for Sunday papers.
