    They pretend to pay us, we pretend to work.

    They aren’t buying you any more free spoons than they used to; they are just paying more for them now due to inflation, and trying to tell you that the extra cost is part of your compensation.

    And because inflation is raising their costs, you aren’t getting a raise.

    Right now we are seeing the first phase of the economic meltdown ( price inflation). The economy won’t improve until there is also a corresponding wage inflation – employers must break down and start raising wages. Then you can pay off your debts with cheaper dollars.

    JPMC did this a few years ago calling it “Total Rewards” including deferred stock plan that would pay out in about 10 years if the stock price had actually been going up. When Senior Exec. pointed this out to the lowly lumpenproles (like me) someone said “fine but how do I pay my mortgage *now*”?

    Also, let’s not forget they give you free heating and air conditioning. All the water you can drink etc.
