FAST FOOD SCREWUPS DON’T DESERVE DECENT WAGES, BUT CEO SCREWUPS DO?

The guy in the above video is exactly right and his logic is flawless. Indeed, he’s got a point–people that make tons of money never make mistakes or get lazy. Highly-paid surgeons would never, for example, amputate the wrong limb … Continue reading
