I'm not sure about this: The CEO of Starbucks said today that they pay more for health insurance than they do for coffee. It must be clear that this is more evidence that the modern American corporation is a unit of socialism. I see why the 'crats are so concerned about final demand. It supports their socialized state. Starbucks is labour intensive and needs faithful, motivated employees who can transmit the value of a really, really expensive cuppa java. One of the best ways to get them is to make working at Starbucks better quality employment than working for the competitors. Most folk and therefore most workers are mediocre. If you want better than mediocre workers you must make working for you more attractive than working for the competitor. Then you get to choose better than average employees. For people who are in the wage range of coffee dispensers health care costs are a significant issue and so it may be the Starbucks example is actually an example of adaptive capitalism reaching for the best employee rather than of corporate socialism.
