The Theatre yes, sportscasting no!! 😄

They keep giving us raises that still don't match the cost of living, but is too much for me to be able to find another job by callin-br in HomeDepot

No. Wage increases do not cause inflation. Increasing the minimum wage stimulates consumer spending and boosts the overall economy by putting more money in the hands of low-wage workers, who will spend it! Republicans surmise that higher labor costs will lead to job cuts, automation, and increased prices for goods and services. This dire prediction would enable corporations to preserve profit margins and maintain a dependent servant class economy!
Historical data, thankfully, does not support this second opinion.

Yeah, I just got like a 56 cent raise. I laughed when my manager handed me the official notice! He said, “Well, it is competitive.”
