About those raises and bonuses due to the Trump tax cuts...

MCEVERS: You know, this all happened at the same time that Walmart said it was going to raise starting wages for hourly workers and that it would expand family leave and offer cash bonuses to staff. The company said the new U.S. tax law had created some financial benefit. I mean, how do you square these two decisions coming at the same time - right? - closing these stores and affecting 11,000 people while also offering raises?

PETERSON: It's a very odd timing of the two announcements, especially because the first announcement, the one about the wage increases and the benefit expansion, that was trumpeted early in the day and nothing was really said about these closings. A press release wasn't sent out about them until much, much later in the day, hours after we had broken our story on the closings. And so - and it's highly unusual for companies as big as Walmart to not give employees notice about store closings.

Wages have inched up, but that is due to many states voting for a higher min wage. So Trump takes credit for that, while he fights the min wage as hard as he can. With Trump's voters, he can get away with it.
 
California is looking at an up coming minimum wage of $15.00 and hour .....

Better plan on spending double or more .... on your Big Mac’s !! .
 
90 percent of the "middle-class tax cut"went to the top 1 percent. It was never for the peopl., Of course, the Trump tariffs have cost American consumers more money. Our financial lives have not improved'

LMAO 'spending double'.

$.25 per burger will more than cover increased labor costs. You should be thrilled. Millions of people won't be eligible for public assistance.

Really. Do you think labor costs are 90 percent of companies costs? When it was pushed a couple of years ago Papa Romanos boss said it would add 50 cents to every ticket. That crippling their customer base?

Junior, I've worked longer and at more professional jobs that actually require brainpower than you'll ever aspire to.

From your laughably lame attempts at addressing your absurd "if/would" scenarios, it's obvious that you haven't the brain power of a 12 year old.

But, keep flailing, moron. It's amusing to watch your self-humiliation, flaccid boy. :rofl2:
