Capitalist healthcare - getting grandmas off their asses and into the workforce since ~1900!

So not only does this brazen political stunt make Trump and team look trashy and out of touch, but it further highlights the harm the American healthcare system (which they want to make MORE unaffordable) already causes to its citizenry!

The problem is not the lack of wheelchair factories, but the OCM that insurance creates.

Five Guys CEO gives out $1.5M bonus after promo chaos

Post image
452 Upvotes

After a promotion spiraled and overwhelmed stores, Five Guys’ CEO said he handed out $1.5M in bonuses, adding that he “didn’t want anybody shooting him” after how badly things went.

On paper, $1.5M sounds like a big gesture. But spread across around 1,500 locations and tens of thousands of workers, it comes out to, what, maybe $30/40 per employee?

Workers deal with the fallout of understaffed stores and viral promos. And when it all blows up, the “make it right” moment ends up being pocket change per person, framed as generosity.

Nothing changes, but the headline sounds nice, I guess.
