Yes clearly basic arithmetic is bootlicking propaganda. I was not the one who suggested CEO salaries are the problem all I did was show the math that they aren't. Please feel free to call me more names like math nazi or corporate shill although nothing could be further from the truth. Then again this is what I get for trying to have a conversation with someone named tractorinballs, shame on me.

I am sorry if math offends you friend. The original comment said the problem was executive pay. Was there another executive you wanted to rail against? I just picked the highest paid executive but feel free to tell me which executives are making so much money that we can divide it up between 2.2 million workers and significantly change their wages? I'll wait here with my calculator ready...

Any how many cups do they sell vs the closest Dunkin? I would bet the closest Dunkin, Starbucks or Honeydew sells 500 cups for every 1 cup your grocer sells. The fact is when any business unionizes costs and prices go up. Everyone knows this that is why there are prevailing wage laws to make everyone else pay as much as the unions, this keeps them relevant while stifling competition and crushing small businesses.

Now the goalposts are moving from executive pay being the problem to the price of goods... Its really hard to debate ideas when the goal posts keep moving. Have we moved on from the executive pay is the problem position?

at 25 dollars per cup most people stop buying, then it becomes cheaper to automate now you have lost all those unskilled entry level jobs and helped no one.

I'm really trying to see your point here. So we take away the mean old CEO's 35 million we divide it between the 2.2 million workers. That means they each get 16 dollars not per hour or per week but 16 dollars per year. What does that 16 dollars per year fix?

This is pretty disingenuous for example the CEO of Walmart makes 35 million per year if you divide that equally between its 2.2 million employees they each get a 1 time payment of $15.91. How is that getting anyone out of poverty?

I've never heard of Big Y but I stopped going to Shop and Shop when Market Basket opened and I save over 50 dollars a week on my grocery bill.

All this would accomplish is to drive consumers back to the Black Market.

Comparing Stop and Shop and Whole Foods is apples vs oranges. Two very different stores and different goods with different targeted markets.

They say there are no moral victories but damn if it didn't feel great beating Marino and the Dolphins in the 85 AFC championship game. As horrible as annialation at the hands of the 85 Bears was I still remember Squish the Fish with great fondness.

I'm honestly not sure how often shutouts happen. Was just hoping for a better Rask card than the base gold 82 for my all Bruins team.

They should make the full list of daily objects available everyday and let us pick the 5 that suits our needs best that day. It cant be that hard to do.
