Except it’s those on minimum wage that spend most or all of their paycheck stimulating the economy.

Middle class have record savings at the moment.

Just raise the price of the burgers... its not that hard. If everyone raises wages at once then they’ll also raise their prices at once.

And the people you’re hiring won’t have to live off the dollar menu at fast food restaurants anymore.

They should do four work days and then a whole day of pointless zoom calls.

Oh wait that’s basically the normal arrangement isn’t it

Those are some big words but.... the chat market is flooded. I barely use Whats App as well as most people I know so they are far from ubiquitous.

Why then? Why not any other chat app, or even messenger with far greater reach and just as many resources?

Just do it...

I moved 3 hours from the CBD and still did 2 days a week, you just need a friend place to crash at one night a week.

No more excuses.

Seismic activity is apparently not really an issue.

The damage from earthquakes tends to be a ripple of the ground in the first few meters and that’s it.

It couldn’t be much more different.

Before Congress said let’s buy a suit for a wedding. There was only really one tailor.

Tailor says how much have you got.

Congress says $1 billion but that’s all I’ve got so not a dollar more.

Tailor says ‘sure I can make that work’...

Fast forward, suit is half way done, wedding is tomorrow, tailor says ‘It’s gonna cost your another billion’ or you get nothing. Congress pays and hopes the wife won’t notice. This happens over and over again.

Fast forward to 2020. Finally there’s more than one tailor. Several in fact. The suits are already made and bought off the rack and simply adjusted to fit.

Now congress gets to go shopping and has a range of suits to choose from. Original tailor is in deep shit.

Instead is spending billions on a suit and waiting forever, they pop down to ZOZO and pick one out and pay $100m. What a bargain I’ll take ten.

New tailors in this case - SpaceX, Rocket Lab, Blue Origin in this case.
