My sarcasm implies the point. Your "arguments" are just stating something is good enough because "positive means more better", while ignoring the complexities of the issue at large. How much is enough? And averaging out inflation over time indefinitely without specifying time intervals is disingenuous. Defining useful time intervals for that which aren't inherently biased to sway the overall argument is in itself a debate to have. This is all without challenging the assumption that the worker's value stays the same or increases very slowly over time, so they must be happy with an effective raise.

Seeing as how you don't care to address the obvious major points that come up in conversations about inflation vs wages in your argument to begin with, and are happy just making hammy assertions, I'm happy to just mock them without putting in too much effort. Why would I let myself fall prey to the bullshit symmetry principle to someone already signaling bad faith with hammy statements?

Our demand for nurses is high, and a key part to our current solution is to under-train them, and lower our standards for what it takes to be a nurse, to be about to pump out more at a fast rate.

Source: know a dozen nurses, some who have graduated as recently as this year. The questions in the exams they take are nothing short of ridiculous oftentimes, they're just checking for a pulse, two brain cells, and a very vague gist of medical concepts behind the minimum on what it takes to know to perform the manual tasks of their job

Why do you think there were so many anti-vax nurses? It's ignorance paired with the ego inflation they get from people assuming they are more knowledgeable than they are.

In a perfect world, everything is fair and power imbalances don't exist. In a perfect world capitalism may not exist. In a perfect world is not a good tool for analysis, here, and doesn't excuse the tone-deaf response from Costco.

In our actual world, where virtually every other corporation is what it is, why would Costco think they are completely immune from the distrust that sows? Why would Costco think this doesn't come off as manipulative? Why didn't they emphasize "we apologize and we will do better"?

No, I think the under-handed tone of doom and gloom was very deliberate. I think they want the effect it had: reinforcing their stance that unions are bad, to let the employees know that they should still fear retribution of some vague type, if only to slow down employees at other stores following suit, while they devise a strategy to deal with it.
