Well, it would only take 2% of the tax break, apparently. So at the very least the government could give them that much, and then set a livable wage.

So you’re confused why people would rather the government mandate a living wage by law, instead of bribing corporations with a few billion dollars each, of which only 2% goes to regular employees?

Incognito is one of the biggest shitbags in all of sports, and he deserves no good will. Fuck that guy.

It’s because it’s visually closer to objects on the ground, giving you something to compare it to.

...appearing slightly bigger and about 14 percent brighter than normal.

Do you understand where the money comes from to pay for these tax breaks? It comes from government programs that will be stripped. Put down the kool-aid, champ.

You mean legislation that would raise a long-stagnant minimum wage closer to where it should be tracking with inflation, making it the rule and not the exception? Hell yes we would be excited about that!

Something tells me if this had happened under legislation through a Sanders administration rather than the private sector reacting to tax cuts this site and its readers would be reacting COMPLETELY differently.

was going to say something similar. several of these were already disproven as they were already announced to much less fanfare months earlier and then used as gimmick news stories after the tax bill went through

Yeah, because a federally mandated $15/hr minimum wage would be completely different than a massive tax windfall for corporation?

It’s all just a scam, propped up by corporate whining. In related news, it seems the “skills shortage” was horseshit; businesses just didn’t want to spend the money to train anybody or bear the alleged risk of taking on people with “sub-optimal” backgrounds:

I really thought most cororations were just some sort of Machiavellian, I’m just here to make money thing. But this is so fucked up that they are all into playing propoganda for a pathetic tax cut.

Others have said this before but it bears repeating: These bonuses, etc. take months of planning and logistics and were obviously in the works long before the tax scam was passed. This is obviously a coordinated PR sham that should be called out as such just like this article does.

The fine print: Analysts estimate the bank’s windfall from the GOP tax bill will be $3.7 billion—meaning the company is investing a little more than 2 percent of its tax gift in its own workers.

What I do and say and think and feel are not indicative of who I am as a person.

God, it was lame when they did it, and it’s lame when we do it.

The NBA and gutless coward Adam Silver are pathetic. You have a cool (stolen) idea for the all star game and you don’t televise the draft. Are you that far up the ass of the players that you don’t want to hurt their wittle feewings. The draft would be awesome to watch but Silver is such a little bitch they won’t risk…

It sounds like you’re describing a baseball museum (does this exist?), not the hall of fame.

I realize a lot of people don’t want to see this because they’re so terrified that it’ll suck. And there’s plenty of evidence to argue that ‘reviving dearly beloved childhood/youth franchises with original characters’ has sucked before (see “Blues Brothers 2000,” see “Ghostbusters 2" see...oh geez, Dan Ackroyd’s got a…
