Tesla wants to give $56 Billion to Elon instead of discounting 5.6 million cars by $10K each!! But if they had to pay more to employees they would also cry that they can’t do it!!
“Unfortunately, the real minimum wage is always zero, regardless of the laws, and that is the wage that many workers receive in the wake of the creation or escalation of a government-mandated minimum wage, because they lose their jobs or fail to find jobs when they enter the labor force. Making it illegal to pay less than a given amount does not make a worker’s productivity worth that amount—and, if it is not, that worker is unlikely to be employed.”
― Thomas Sowell, Basic Economics: A Citizen’s Guide to the Economy
As someone who feels guilty when spending $20 on a book, I can’t understand how anyone would spend that on a beverage that I don’t even know if you can really call it coffee.

Obviously, profits MUST go to CEOs and shareholders, not people who do the work (see Boeing)
