fuckyeahfeminists: Costco CEO Craig Jelinek supports raising the minimum wage. Costco announced record profits today, averaging $10,000 in profit per employee compared to $7,400 at Walmart. The secret to Costco’s success is paying employees well, providing benefits, and giving them an opportunity to unionize. So large corporations’ excuses that treating & paying workers well would damage profits are all a crock of shit.

Chis Evans meets my standards for heroism.

Well, he is Captain American AND the Human Torch. Doesn’t get much more heroic than that.

Ben Shapiro deserves the people who read Breitbart.
