    An $11,000 wage increase is ~$5/hr for a full time employee.

    Starting pay at Startbucks is around $15/hr. They’re famously stingy with full-time though, so in reality it is quite a bit more than a 25% increase.

    Honestly, I was expecting to find some glaring error in the logic on this but I don’t really see it.

      What do you mean by this, by the way? Dead thread now so no stakes, but still interested in how your take is different, because I haven’t heard this opposition from anyone before.

        1. Most companies have “record profits” while having the same profit margins as before. That doesn’t mean they’re greedy or whatever, that means people are buying more shit than ever.
        2. Many companies had a few tough years before yet no one was posting about record loses.
        3. These profits are going into YOUR pocket at the end of the day. Because one way or another YOU are the investor. You should be happy when companies are doing good.
