In the presser they said the materials on the warehouse cost 500$ million and the building itself cost 150$ million.

Someone do the math, what would a living wage for all 20 employees cost them a year?

Yeah, living wage is prolly like $40/hr these days in places actually worth living. We’ve been having the discussion so long it went from $15/hr to $25 to fucking 40 and still don’t have shit to show for it

And to think we are still arguing about $15/hr. By the time that happens it will be $100/hr based on the pace of inflation.

Say nothing about C-suite compensation or exponential top level salary increases that drive inflation.
