    And you thinking that these entities are innocent just because they started out doing a thing is myopic. You seem to be the one unable to see nuance. Truly. Or you misunderstand its meaning, because Costco is definitely not innocent.

    I live near the headquarters. They’re an awful employer and exploit their staff, prevent upward movement of talented folk. My close friend is a highly talented developer for them and has been passed up for raises and promotions multiple times for less talented people in the org. Furthermore, he felt his race played into these decisions.

    I can’t understand for one moment why people block for or make excuses for billionaires. You’re never gonna get anything from it. Everyone on this side of the divide is on the same team in that match up.

      Yeah, I’m not the one who declared that every single person who has more than X wealth is evil, lmao.

      Anyone can cherry-pick a few incidents here and there, any business large enough will have them, but aggregate data is more honest:

      Its employee turnover rate of 8% is less than one seventh of the [60%] average for retailers.

      Clearly their workers are, on average, MUCH happier there than just about anywhere else in the same industry.
