Amazing how the one company that was a joke in the movie Idiocracy is actually the one company saving us from a complete fascist takeover.
Costco is looking at the enormous shortfall in human labor, flipping open its Econ 101 textbook, and deciding "High demand? Low supply? Price must go up."
That's not "fighting fascism" just running a business intelligently. I've heard similar stories from HEB, from my local auto repair guy, and from a few neighboring restaurants. Businesses are struggling to keep staffed so income pressure is rising.
Their very public decision to keep DEI in addition to a long history of not exploiting their employees has led me to purchase a membership this morning. I'm okay with financually rewarding reasonable behavior.
My least favorite thing about capitalism is that if everyone did it correctly, and worked together to maximize each other's value, it wouldn't even be that bad. Being a middle class wage worker wouldn't be too bad if my management cared about increasing the value they can extract from me by enriching and teaching me instead of being slave drivers
