Google and Amazon etc compete by giving employees not only salaries, but "free" cafeteria food, "free" dental etc.
Rich western countries compete that way too. It's up to each country what kind of "free" benefits like healthcare they should provide.
You don't like "salary+benefits" package, you move to a better country.

From the pool it looks like bears are in the majority. Looks like it's time for the bull market to start. Interesting days.

Corporations are soulless mummies mandated to maximize shareholder profit. Imagining market forces will manage humans with anything other than complete indifference is nuts. You don't like "salary+benefits" package, you move to a better country.
Just everybody get rich and move to a seastead then. Good plan. |

All collective action toward the public good is for suckers. Your tribe extends to your front door and no further. Whatever.
True, just give them a flag and a dose of x-factor twice a week, and the Sheeple will never even notice! |

America's health businesses have got it nailed. Not only do health providers charge the population, they also make the American government spend more than double per capita what other governments spend for the 'free' stuff. That's an extremely impressive trick. |

Corporations are in the business of fleecing people. It stands to reason. |

Bitcoin is a side topic. Join the main debates: juice, ruskies and global corporate domination.  |

Offset by setting up shop in the nation's most expensive cities, where housing is completely unaffordable, no free parking, high food/drink costs outside of work, highest city and state taxes, etc. And talk of adding a 'head tax'. So no, not really "free". They get their pound of flesh one way or another. Hey, live in San Fran, make north of $80K/year, and you can.... live in a van down by the river! https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/high-rents-force-silicon-valley-live-vehicles |

OT : Hey look, even ol' Warren Buffett realizes that the public is not buying his company's stock. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/07/18/buffetts-berkshire-hathaway-loosens-policy-on-stock-buybacks.htmlGet deep into the stock buyback game Warren, it's the only way to fly! Pump your own stock, no Average Joe investors needed! "Munger, for his part, warned that some companies use repurchases simply to prop up their own stock prices."
Duh, ya think? |

Warren Buffett made his annual stock donation this week to five foundations. Buffett converted 11,867 Class A shares into about 17.8 million Class B shares in order to make the donation. 13.5 million shares worth about $2.6 billion, based on the stock's closing price Monday of $192 per share, went to the Gates Foundation. Buffett has donated 243.3 million Class B shares to the Gates Foundation, just south of the 500 million shares he's pledged to the charity run by Microsoft founder Bill Gates.
It's a neat trick. |
