Interesting to see how valuable employees are isn't it
Most importantly... if you ask the conservatives, if you pay your workers a living wage, you fail capitalism your stock prices are doomed

Yet unless I'm an idiot, when I put the chart out to 10 years... I see costco's stock price leaping... and walmarts price pretty damn flat.
It looks that way because Costco’s stock per unit is around 10x of that of Walmart.* Costco did grow more in five years. 220% vs 150% of Walmart.

*There are many mode units of Walmart stock so the company is worth more in total. But you’d be better of buying COST five years ago. For the soul and wallet 😄)
I live near a city that has both a Sam's Club and a Costco. I wonder how they compare vis a vis sales, pay, and employee retention?
Sam's club is still basically Walmart, so I'd say not great.
