They could cut benefits and pay for a very brief stock bump, letting shareholders sell off for a small profit, then just shut the place down because it would immediately suck

The Amish often do really well financially, every young married couple gets a free house built for them, and they make and sell a lot of nice stuff that there is a demand for and keep it all in the family until there's a 7 or 8 figure net worth

like 50 years ago companies were more into taking care of their employees because they figured it would lead to more motivated and loyal employees, less turnover and training costs and higher productivity, but then some executives and investors started thinking "hey if we gently caress over our employees we can keep more money" and their competitors were like "hey, we should do that too" and now costco is an anomaly

And now America sucks and retail sales are down as are incomes and investors can't even stuff their money anywhere successfully

Walmart is learning from Costco, 2 years ago they boosted employee wages and benefits and almost immediately saw increased customer satisfaction and cleaner stores. It's almost like if you give employees a reason to care, you get better results.

If PEOPLE had more MONEY they'd SPEND more MONEY which is called "the economy"

IKEA is great when you're just starting out in life and you need a chair/desk/shelving/bed frame combo and your budget is $237.42

7 years later that bright red minimalist chair and the shelf/desk/sock drawer are sitting in the corner of your apt looking a bit shabbier and it's like, perfectly good why get rid of it, you've had three long term girlfriends do their grad thesis while sitting at it, before having the same angry breakup, and your current attempt at a girlfriend is painting her toenails and some got on the desk, right next to that other spot where another girl painted her toes there, you're like, am I ever going to get married?? Should I buy a new desk? Do they still make the Fflüûrrghn'D'rùūndle??

I have been buying a big bag of those chicken titties once a month, every month, for the last 5ish years. super easy to store and they make great meals every time. sometimes I pound em flat and fry a few up for breakfast, sometimes I dice em and add that Costco pesto, toss with pasta and you got yourself a piss easy dinner that makes plenty of leftovers.

now that I'm thinking about it I've never gotten anything from Costco freezers that didn't turn out good.

Had to make some stops during the workday and once just so happened to be by a Costco so I was able to nab me a $1.50 hot dog and a drink, though I didn't get a refill. Also had to eat the dog naked since I was eating the dog in the car and was wearing a white shirt today and that's always begging for disaster.

Thankfully that Costco dog is so good you can eat it naked and it's still a great dog :pram:

So.. I assume you mean you put onions and mustard on the dog and took off your clothes to eat it right? I mean
