Things that made you smile today (Political Version)

inflation = tax on savings

[Seran]

That's a pretty pro-business approach, cut the costs (labor) to maintain the bottom line. You got that so far. An increase in labor costs without a proportionate increase in productivity is unsustainable.


Well if there are 50 workers making those burgers, likely yes. However, any of us having hit the drive through, we know there are not.

Interesting you should mention McDonald's, take this from their corporate attempt to attract more sales through a new $5 meal program. Franchisees are pushing back saying they simply cannot make this profitable without kickbacks from corporate.

At least you're smart enough to realize your declaration was smart. Now you can take a gander at the fact wages increase proportionate to competition for workers, who in turn seek higher wages for profit driven inflation. Increases in minimum wage cause fractional increases in inflation purely because relatively few industries have a 1:1 labor unit to output ratio. In the example of McDonald's, divide the labor unit cost increase by the number of units per hour and you'll see the point I carefully dumbed down for you.

You will never, ever have this problem because you aren't smart enough for anything, let alone making a smart declaration or realizing it was smart.

You... dumbed it down for anyone.... is the most hilarious thing on the Internet today.

Please just stop.

Seran will be sitting there for weeks trying to figure out how you knew that, even though it's super obvious.

It's because he's stupid.
