Classic union-busting behaviors from their virulently anti-union POS CEO

That’s a reasonable position.
If the wages were better, the revolving door effect wouldn’t be present as much. Perhaps they accepted less than they should have because their leverage was low or they undervalued themselves. These one-off outlier shops are really hard to gauge the metrics that drive the outcomes. I think unions should be present from the most unskilled jobs to the most. That’s the only thing that will ever shift the power dynamic from the bourgeoisie class to the people.

This is what happens sometimes in an economy where unions are thin. Not enough inertia. Don’t blame the people organizing, blame the shit capitalist culture that necessitates the union

That same exact video could be made in Portland Oregon or NYC. Or Chicago. Or Los Angeles. Or anywhere with extreme income inequality. It’s about the overall average, and I’m guessing you’re not in the lower quadrant.
After seeing your post history, it all makes sense. Every. Single. Time.

You've been fed "American greatness" capitalist agitprop your whole life, you may not even realize it. Socialist countries run by autocrats are poor examples, they're really no different than capitalist countries run the same. There are capitalist countries that have a lower PQL than Venezuela. Furthermore, imperialistic and extractive capitalism has decimated many of these countries and is largely responsible for creating an environment of struggle and failure - look no further than sub-Saharan Africa or central America.
Cuba is actually a very good example of what's possible under socialism. They have a higher literacy rate than America. They have lower infant mortality rates than America. Should we talk about homelessness in America? It exists in Cuba, but it's significantly less than America. They excel in other areas but these three examples are critical to quality of life. Speaking of quality of life, socialist countries generally have better PQL than capitalist ones. Cuba has done exceptionally well while having very few high-value natural resources where the majority of their GDP is commodities, and most notably, they've done well while having the largest superpower in the world right next door who's placed stupid draconian sanctions on them for over half a century.

It's more extensive than that. Replace capitalism with socialism.
Different wages would still exist for different jobs, and those wages are determined democratically by the workers. Wage inequality would still be present to some degree but the perverse and gross inequality we have today would no longer be present. Billionaires and most likely millionaires would not exist. CEO equivalents and senior leaders would still probably earn more than lower levels, but not at the obscene levels today. Jobs that require high levels of expertise, stress, or hard labor would probably be paid more. Workers come and go as they wish. Work is also not tied to healthcare/health insurance as insurance no longer exists. People would be much freer to change jobs as they see fit without insurance/benefits hanging over their heads. In an ironic twist, job migrations would probably be easier and more readily available than under capitalism.

Way too much for one post, but social services would be considerably more extensive and comprehensive, and able to provide the mission they've outlined. Non-profits are not immune from capitalism's excesses and pitfalls, they don't operate in a vacuum.

You employ 4 people at most likely unlivable wages to support your business model that's deleterious to communities. That's your justification? lol
Airbnbs do fuck all for tourism in all but the most niche markets. Pretty sure tourism existed before airbnb

The common sense solution is to change the code from 30 days to 6 months plus one day.

A 6 month session in a state with such a small population is quite long. Should only be 2-3 months but the P/T issue would persist.
