    Henry ford was a piece of shit in many ways but he did pay his workers enough to buy a car. He felt they would sell more cars. Even he understood the value of a fair wage.

      How does giving someone money get you more money?

      Best case scenario, where they spend 100% of what you just gave them on your product, you just get that money back- minus time and input costs.

      Higher wages is necessary, but I don’t buy this line of reasoning.
