Amazon has announced a pay rise of up to $3 an hour for logistics workers amid heightened scrutiny of its controversial labor practices. The retailer has brought forward its pay review as it looks to to recruit hundreds of thousands of front-line employees across its US operations, according to Darcie Henry, Amazon vice president. More than 500,000 workers will see an increase of between 50 cents and $3 an hour, Henry said in a statement, on top of the "$15 an hour starting wage" they already receive.

Let's say everyone gets the $3/hr. That's 1.5 million (plus another 100k for FICA matching). Figure that out over full time hours (2080/year) and it's 3.34 billion. Amazon had a net income of 21 billion last year. So that's an almost 16% hit to the shareholders. But if they were gonna pay corporate taxes on it anyway, it's more like a 12% hit.

Or did I fuck this math up?

Bruh. (!!!)

I feel like I keep getting into these arguments here where I just come across as like the most whiny, emotion driven idiot on this forum. I don't know why but it's interesting to engage, at least, even if at the end I feel embarrassed.

You're such a little buttercup and it's fucking adorable.

Is @Bald1 being mean to you?

Nah, be you. I think you add a lot value to the WR. This being an under ground karate forum, so many pretend to be manly men. I think its cool that you dont even have to worry about that shit.

There's a lot of big, hard, conservative men on here.

I just want to dance, senri. Is that too much to ask?

Thusly:



Lol. First video that popped up.


Not at all, we love to see the gyrations of the body. What you yearn for is one of the modes of human expression. Let it be so, and allow the masses to witness the elegance at which you motion your existence.
 
A Serbian film just seemed like edgelord shit to me and while it's disgusting it doesn't carry the same horror as other movies.

Depends on if they catch you in the right mood. It is strange. "A Serbian Film" goes the extra mile, but it's amazing at what our minds can be disturbed by. Take the "SAW" movies for example. They're just as depraved(a little less so in some areas), but our minds are trained to accept them as "mainstream" which dilutes the impact they might otherwise have. If they were some underground European "forbidden" films, they'd probably carry a lot more weight.

Meanwhile, our minds have tricked us into thinking a flick like TCM is one of the most disturbing films of all time, despite the fact that it could probably be rated PG-13, and is a rather bloodless and tame movie. The execution is what tricks us.
