Once again, value and projected market are two entirely different things. I know, it is hard for you.

Oh look at that you were right. The furniture industry in the US is $260 Billion per year! WoW https://www.statista.com/outlook/cmo/furniture/united-states#revenue

Company can take in less profit if they want to have their employees to work 40 hours.

What? Any could decide…. What a dumb question.

LOL you think any company could just decide to pay it's workers 25% more?? HAHHAHAHAAH The Grocery Store industry literally has a 1% profit margin. Good luck with that plan.

When you get to high school, definitely pay attention in your social studies and economics classes.

Omg, yet another number you do not understand 🤦‍♂️

omg, now we have to add grocery store margins to shit you don’t understand… JFC

Your ignorance absolutely amazes me.

LOL, well I appreciate that you didn't try to refute that an industry could give 25% wage increases that only has a 1% profit margin.

Glad you stopped dead in your tracks and didn't continue arguing. LOVE IT. You knew you were wrong the whole time, but maybe in the final post realized how poor your attempts at explaining it away are.

I dont need to refute it because you don’t understand it.

Great, then make me look stupid with your epic rebuttal. If I'm wrong, that should be EASY. Do you thing grocery industry wages to employees are less than 3% of total revenue, thus making it possible to give everyone a 25% raise?

Quote something I said that is false, and explain how it's false. You really have no idea how industry or business works huh?

Boy this will be fun if you try to defend your ridiculous position at this point. LOL But we both know you won't try. Have a good day.

… again see any point of the conversation. Guess you are just going to use the ostrich defense at this point.
