    People seem to forget that the way Henry Ford was so successful was that he paid more than double the normal rate of that time. He of course didn’t do it out of the goodness of his black heart, but it’s undoubtedly one of the reasons for his success.

    We’ve got this problem at the place I work. I have to cover multiple departments because we’re short-staffed. Management tells me they’re trying to hire someone.

    But the job postings are offering less per hour than when I was hired. We’re offering less than McDonalds, and this is a far more complex job.

    There’s no reason for anyone to come work for us.

    That’s crazy, and now in order to remain competitive and get workers, other businesses will also need to raise their pay. Capitalism.
