And they sure as shit won't throw a bone to employees (whose wages have been stagnant for a decade)

Labor rates have been stagnant for a decade -> disposable income is eaten up be inflation -> consumers have less money to spend on new and novel products and services -> there's less incentive to invent new and novel products and services -> there's no innovative companies to invest in -> companies pile up cash in banks, but don't think to invest in their employees



In real terms, wages have been stagnant since 1981-ish.


Sadly it is even worse - think early 70s. http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2014/10/09/for-most-wor...
