A
small article depicting the trickle-down-you're-fucked economics of the current era includes:
A recent report from the National Employment Law Project
calculated that McDonald’s could have paid each of its 1.9 million
workers $4,000 more a year if it had used the $21bn it spent between
2015 and 2017 on buybacks to reward its workers instead. Starbucks could
have given its workers $7,000.
It's nothing new, of course. And it's mind-numbingly common. But it's so damned tiring when there are so many trying so hard.
It's a lubeless experience.
