Just break them up. If they're able to raise prices above inflation, then they are by definition a cartel. We already have a law on the books for this. It just needs to be used.
It's so frustrating to watch, because Richard Fucking Nixon of all people was able to pull off a windfall tax and it had the desired effect.
And now, not only do we know it's impossible, but everyone who refuses to do it is going to get reelected in November and we're all going to pretend they give a damn about the poor and disenfranchised.
They might try, but that didn't happen when Nixon passed a windfall tax in the 70's.
And, even so, it's a good thing to make corruption more inconvenient, and a windfall tax wouldn't just help fix inflation, it would send a huge message to Corporate America.
But this is all a pipe dream. The Federal Government is an oligarchy, not a democracy.
the share price is only relevant for a company when they plan to emmit more stock to raise more money or fear hostile takeover. it doesn't say much about their success.
It's relevant because Trump owns a majority of the stock but can't sell any of it until August. If the price craters before then, he won't be able to use it to fund his campaign.
Definitely a 'duh' result from a survey. The cost of childcare in the US is criminal, so of course smaller businesses will have a tougher time absorbing that cost, either as salaries or benefits.
The US government spends an average of $500 /child/year for preschoolers in healthcare, childcare, and support (like food). It's outright pathetic. We're so far behind the next OECD nation that we can't even see them on that scale. The top spender is Norway at $26,000/child/year! As a nation they take care of their people for which they're healthier and happier for it.
Yes, we're trying to raise the deductions for the business, but that only helps children with parents who can qualify for those kinds of positions. It ties workers to their jobs, just like our healthcare system does. This will create yet another hole that makes it harder for people to leave work, and more ability for toxic workplaces to abuse workers who would depend upon a given job to pay for daycare because the business gets the support and not the child. Let's start making some legislation to just directly support children, and not some Rube Goldberg machine tying us to bosses and owners.
People actually voluntarily put money into a trump company? And expected it to increase in value? LOL, fucking morons. They're lucky there's any money left at all. I'm guessing there won't be for long.
