E.G. Airline companies? All while still cancelling flights. Great, give us real data like this instead of arguments from authority you found on some ransom lefty site. This isn't hard kids.

If you’ve been keeping up with the news honey, you’d know pretty much every company reported record profits the last year or two with CEO pay far outpacing that of the average worker. You’re just sucking at that corporate teet and still think Reganomics works. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

You’re just sucking at that corporate teet and still think Reganomics works. Yeah, tell that to all the businesses who shut down in the past two years. There was a significant increase in companies declaring bankruptcy during Covid while others were raking in the profits for obvious reasons. It's one in a lifetime opportunity if you're offering an online service like Netflix but it's a death sentence for the tourist and restaurant industries among others. Like what is even your point? Oil companies are making record profits among a oil shortage on the market because of the economic sanctions to Russia and the war in Ukraine? No shit. And some rich busines owners having their pay outpacing their workers does not in itself contribute to inflation or directly responsible for a recession. The ethical question about the distribution of wealth is irrelevant, I'm talking purely economics and I fail to see the direct correlation. What is says to me is that the business in question is making higher profits than last-year and are hiring people. That just means little Timmies will get less gifts this Christmas because Mr. Asshole is buying a second Yacht, the same money is flooding back in the market regardless. Nothing changed on an economic scale. Link to post Share on other sites
