Nike Memo?

[fatboy33]

I understand your argument, but mutual fund and 401-k investors aren't billionaires. Believe me I understand the argument however.

What do Mutual funds/401k investors have to do with what we're talking about? I don't see a correlation.

There is, look deeper. I'll help you out if you try to understand it on your own, and still come up empty.

10 percent of Americans own 84 percent of all stocks. More Americans don't have 401ks than do. That's what I understand.

Keep digging, It doesn't matter who owns what percentage of stocks, or how many have 401ks. I did neglect to mention IRA participants. If that was your angle to figure out what I was speaking about, you missed it anyway. Back to work for you.

According to Gallup, 54% of Americans own some stock. I find it hard to believe that 10% own 84% of all stock.

I don't fart, it's the game though.

Too bad your mentality is in the poorhouse.

Then by comparison your mentality is homeless, in the gutter, and sleeping in its own urine.

 

[MAKAVELI]

Been delivering a ton of Nike lately. So much for this so called memo.

Why pay a fair wage, Walmart, Uber and Amazon, when their employees qualify for government assistance? Let a Lazy person sit at home and get free stuff or let billionaires get free stuff by way of their employees having to take food stamps etc. Either way YOU pay.

LOL!!

Walmart and the others wouldn't pay any more without the public assistance hammock in place than they play with it in place. They are staffing entry level jobs that require little to no skill or training. Hello, those working entry level jobs that require little to no skill or training have never made good money.

Took you over 2 weeks to think up a lame reply like that? Then again for you, that's some kind of 'improvement.'

I.E. people willing to work but with low I.Q. don't deserve to make a living. How very Obama of you LOL. As the Republicans use to call Obama an Elitist.

Walmart employees over 2 million people. Does each one of those employees deserve to make 40k per year? McDonald's employees over 375k people. Does each one of them deserve to make $15 and hr like they want?

Whatever it takes to pay rent in America. Whatever it takes to put food on the table in America. 30K sounds right, with a spouse working at the same salary. If Besos deserves 250 million dollars a day then he deserves to pay his people.

McDonald's employees deserve 30k a year. WOW. They get 25% or more of the orders wrong now. If they would guarantee to get 95% of their orders correct, they could maybe get a raise. Give them $15 an hr and I want permission to slap the first fast food worker that screws up my order. "No you ignorant maroon, I did not order extra onion on my Big Mac"
You need to get your facts correct. Besos salary isn't 250 million a day. His net worth increases by a large amount because of his holdings and stock ownership.

You could do the same. Just start a company that revolutionized the shopping habits of the world and has over 500k employees. If you are envious of the Bezos, Waltons and Fred Smiths, why don't you do what they did and create an empire.

25 percent?? Sounds like you're the problem. I don't eat that crap very often but it was very rare my orders weren't what I correct. I'm no more envious of Billionaires than your disdain for poor/low IQ people. Besides, poor people are the reason the Waltons and Bezos have what they have. 250 million dollars a day is enough to pay a living wage. You know it and i know it.

I would consider coming out of retirement for that.

Who do you give the money you've earned?? In some countries, you are considered wealthy.

Those who have attained wealth legally and morally are entitled to do as they wish with their riches, not as you dictate.

Relocate to a socialist state, and maybe you and rickyb will end up bunkmates.

I don't eat McDonald's. I saw that figure on a website describing why McDonald's is going to the order kiosk and replacing the order takers. Once again, you want Bezos, Fred and the Waltons to pay their employees from their PERSONAL money? Don't see that happening. Like the fella asked, how much of your PERSONAL money have you given away to other people. Bezos doesn't earn 250 million a day in salary, his entire portfolio might increase by that about. I have days my 401k increases by 5k. I am not giving that away and I bet you wouldn't either.
Instead of being bitter, just start an empire like the others did and you can give your employees all the money you want. You claim to not have disdain for billionaires but we all know that is not correct.
