But if they didn't get free resources, they wouldn't be profitable!
Sadly that is the excuse many AI companies use.

Inflation is the overall increase in prices. If I inflate a tire at 10 PSI/sec and then I slow the inflation to 5 PSI/sec, the tire is still inflating. Saying prices have not fallen is a given since that has not really happened since the Great Depression. If the Fed kept interest rates high despite lowering inflation we eventually would have gotten deflation which is something we absolutely, positively do not want. Wage increases have outpaced price inflation since early 2023. Inflation was greater than wage growth in 2021 and 2022 so your experience sucks but it doesn't seem to be the norm.
Card and Kreuger found this out when they did a large study back in the 90s when each state could finally set its own minimum wage.
Yeah. I live in Seattle and had to travel a lot for work. Going out to eat was about the same price everywhere. The only thing that was really cheaper I could see was gas.
Do you mean 25 years ago? Twenty years the rate was around 1%. Back in July of 2000 it went up to about 6.5%. But inflation was on the rise at that point. It has sharply declined now.
What the hell are you talking about? The Inflation Reduction Act has tons of spending that goes to union labor. Biden's tariffs also protect industries that have tons of union labor. What the fuck has Trump ever done to help unions?
He has not been president for quite a while. The current DOJ has certainly had time to look into this.
Would you prefer they keep rates high? Inflation has dropping pretty consistently for months and was 2.5% y/y last month. Food price inflation was even lower y/y. What action would you prefer the Fed take?
One note: document everything brought up to HR. If it is a small HR department, they could very well be friends with the supervisor and take their side. HR does indeed exist to protect the company but it is also made up of people (often extroverted ones). Documenting everything can help you out if there is any sort of retaliation. A threat of a lawsuit is absolutely something that can make a company be very apologetic and much more generous. I have had several friends that made sure they documented everything and were given six months severance when there was a possibility of a lawsuit.
But I was told by Republicans that Putin endorsed Harris! /s

He has publicly denied the Holocaust and has made many antisemitic remarks. Is anyone surprised that he considers himself a black Nazi?
