re: #1 lawhawk

I wonder if it’s possible or if anyone has figured out the numbers on this for companies like Walmart and Amazon or most other large retailers. And then look at companies like Costco who actually raised their starting salary to 17 dollars an hour. I have a feeling it would just be a lot less expensive to just be a decent employer. You don’t have huge turnover, retraining or burned out employees, don’t have to deal with lawsuits and paying even larger groups of attorneys than you already have to as a company. I have to wonder about the same logic applied to what they do to fight taxes, labor laws and fair wages.

I hate lobbyists, that whole system is a huge part of why we’re here. And yet it’s rarely addressed, reported on and nothing is done about it.
