So, again, when was the last time you paid someone more than the asking price for their goods? Have you ever done so. Or are you as full af shit on that count as you are on the rest of your rabidly delusional rantings?

My dear boy, don't put yourself out, there isn't another individual on the planet that understands your hammers. It's not something that can coexist in the real world alongside the understanding that your "ideas" about economic matters are moronic in the extreme.

bwaaaaaaaaa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Everyday without fail.

I was hoping, not unreasonably as my 7 yr old understands it, that you would have worked it out by yourself. It would seem not, so I'll lay it out for you in terms that I know you'll fail to understand: 1 hammer = 1 trillion dollar platinum coin. I can't help that you've been lied to and that you believe that lie... but I can prevent my kids from suffering your fate.

I'm lost as to why someone would need to pay more than market value to have a company pay employees decent rates, even more lost as to why you think this extra money would reach the employees?

Nike shoes go for like $130-$250 each, they pay the people that make them $1,092 USD/yr, their CEO gets $16,800,000 USD/yr... Why da fuck do you think we need to pay higher than Nikes already inflated rates for their workers to make some decent coin??? Seems more intelligent to just distribute the money that is made to the right people (hint: not to the career CEO & likes)

Because you need to pay market rates to attract the right calibre of applicant

And that the wealth will trickle down so we should aspire to wealth

Because you are not buying the shoe you are wearing the brand its defining you it makes you a superior human. unless someone else have something cooler or more expensive.
We buy our athletics shoes for the kids on Eastbay far far cheaper for the expensive brands. The nike stuff now is rather shit lucky to get a year out of Rugby boots. Not a scrap of leather in them either.

In your head it probably does. Which is where it can stay. See, everyone else has the right to decide what shit's worth to them. You don't.

Market rate has fuck all to do with your paranoia about who gets paid what. It's simply the price people are prepared to pay for the product, in dollars they earned themselves.

And if you reckon there's a better world to be had by paying workers more and CEOs less then go for it. I somehow doubt that you've got the wherewithal to buy a pair of shoes let alone start a business making them.

Yeah? See, I don't buy Nike shit either, but in my case it's 'cause I don't like their ethics. Their product could be fantastic and I still wouldn't buy them, I simply don't do business with arseholes I don't like.

So so so very close... but alas, 7 yr old takes the win.

Same here.

If your bike should ever break down while you're in Taupo, fuck off to one of the other shops.
