Bucha Bull to me.

Even Ford, piece of utter feculence he was, understood that if you gave people money and time to spend it they'll give it right back to you and everyone gets to come up together.

    That was a PR stunt. Wages were being raised anyway, he just preempted what he knew was coming to make himself look good

    Next you're gonna tell me that Ford didn't actually invent the weekend, but was pressured by unions.

    Or that tipped wages aren't meant to let the employees get a higher wage than they could at a fixed wage, but instead only benefit the business.

    You and your crazy conspiracy theories. Now, if you're done being wrong, I have a bridge to purchase.
