    93 year old dipshit, Bernie Marcus, cofounder of Home Depot, says workers are not motivated and want everything given to them. Here:

    But Mr. Marcus has this completely wrong. Worker productivity is up over 250% since 1950 while wages are up only 115%.

    The truth is Mr. Marcus and the rest of the c suite executives all over America have been short changing workers for decades and being overcompensated for it. And much of problems from drug use to crime would be lessened if worker compensation kept up with productivity.

    Mr. Marcus doesn’t understand he IS the problem.

    But Mr. Marcus has this completely wrong. Worker productivity is up over 250% since 1950 while wages are up only 115%.

    He is referring to the Socialism shift from the last 10 years , not since 1950, and the movement growth since covid
     

  3. Bernie 100% correct.

    Not even debateable.

  6. Most of this national productivity output index hocus pocus is fake economics.

    They take the national GDP or some collective output number and divide it by the number of labor hours in a given period, or some such approach.

    But that just means that more output occurred while those collective labor hours occurred. It does not mean the net increase is a result of the employees. Versus structural improvements, improved management, automation, and other technology.

    Before long the output of all fast food joints will be fully automated or robot-run. That does not mean the output of the few remaining employees has increased. Only that increased output occurred during their working hours.

    There has been innovation since the invention of the wheel. Try again.

  8. When you got nothing.

    Your ilk have created an entire generation or two of workers who are fully qualified to sit home, smoke dope, and watch porn hub while waiting for their latest "relief" check for the reason de jour.

    Since they are worthless as tits on a nun, your geniuses have come up with the brilliant idea of bringing in an entire replacement work force across our southern border.....squeeze work out of them....until lefty culture kills their work ethic as it eventually does.....then rinse and repeat.

    I go back to Maine and see Mexicans working in the fields now. I am told - as everyone is these days- that that is work that Americans will not do. Excuse me, but those are the same fields that I used to work in.

    You’re as lost as Mr. Marcus. The American worker has been being squeezed for decades. It shows up in the data whether you look at wealth disparity, ceo to worker compensation, or productivity to compensation comparisons. Home Depot is especially egregious in terms of compensation and you can see their stores going downhill with your own eyes.

    It is not me who has nothing because I have actual data on the subject, it is you who has nothing but an opinion.
