http://www.wsbtv.com/consumer/clark-howard/clark-your-life/these-major-retailers-are-closing-1000-stores-in-2018/676073275

Sears - closing 103 stores
Macy's - closing 11 stores
BonTon - closing 40 stores
Gap/BR - closing 200 stores
Starbucks/Teavana - closing 379 stores
Etc.

1000 stores closing listed in this article


Guess it's easy to give little payouts when you remove the long-term burden of employees. Less salaries, benefits, etc.

Still waiting on those layoffs. Funny how they seem happen at the same time.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-01-13/disney-ceo-s-pay-falls-but-60-million-2018-bonus-still-in-reach

And the rest of the 125,000 employees get a total of $125 million in bonus, out of $2 billion in tax saving.

You have to be a troll to fall on your knees and sobbing gratefully.

You sound like Nancy Pelosi. Or, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz. A little out of touch, perhaps?

but ^PP has a point. People are going gaga over $1000 one time bonus while the uber rich get a 6% tax cut for eight years. It is kind of humiliating.

What do you get in your pay check?

They were all over the main political topiary paGe. Now all the adults can go back to discussing what a sh*tbag trump is while the rubes stay here and circle j*rk themselves about some corporations hiring 500 people because of the tax cuts. Too bad those benevolent corporations will fire the same people 5 months later to use the tax cut money to buy automated systems. Anyway, I know tax cuts are all that matter to you, so enjoy them. We’ll all be talking about how creeping authoritarianism is a problem.


Sorry.
