Krugman sucks.
Walmart is shifting to robots for stocking and self check out. There will be hardly any employees in their stores eventually.
This is all fine and dandy but how will this affect PRICES??
Basic economics: When labor costs increase, prices increase.
Bonuses are nice but unfortunately they are taxed at a higher rate than normal income. In the days when I used to get one, I was dismayed at the big chunk Uncle Sam would take out of the check.
A few years ago our company was giving these little token bonuses of $50 or so as a thank you or for a specific task. I received one, and the next pay I saw my check shrink by $23 or so. I found out that was the Federal tax on the little bonus!
Not for nothing, but who the hell would work for $11 an hour? That’s barely $300 after taxes for a 40 hour week. I saw an ad yesterday for a food delivery guy $20 bucks an hour, maybe that’s just New York though, but I’ve been seeing a lot of those ever since Hillary failed to steal the election. I just think it’s odd that a multi-billion dollar corporation like Walmart would be paying their employees LESS than what illegals get under the table which is no less than $100 a day, $11 an hour is spit but I guess people are taking that job.
With all the employee friendly ads Wal-Mart runs I thought for sure they paid their employees more than $11.00 am hour. Propaganda
I bet the liberals’ heads are exploding at all this winning!
Hey Oprah.
Will you and your fellow DemonCrooks re-up corporate rate to 35%?
Good job, Wal-mart! And THANK YOU, President Trump!

Krugman sucks something, just like his hero John Maynard Keynes did.
