This is the infamous trickle down economy idea, unfortunately the greedy bastards at the top are... well greedy. Take Apple for example, they are making so much money they must have warehouses full of the stuff. I presume the workers in China would be in the JAM class (just about managing) and yet if they were paid lets say 10 dollars a month more their standard of living would go up and the economy of the area where the factories are would improve as all the extra 10 dollars would be spent in shops bars cinemas and cafes etc.
But Apple are in China because the state controls what goes on. If you want controlled wages, no unions, no strikes you go to one with a Communist Party in charge,
The production cost of a pint of beer is less than 50p. The cost of drilling, extracting, refining, distributing and selling petrol and making a profit for the oil companies and petrol stations is 30% of the price at the pumps. The other 70% goes to the government in taxes abdvduties they slap on and who then condemn the profiteering of the oil companies.
They were just an example, the same principle applies all over the place. Take Hull City the directors drive nice expensive cars on the company no doubt and at the same time part timers and minimum wagers are sacked to save money.
Reading this thread makes me glad I'm not joining the membership scheme. It sounds bloody complicated and drilling for oil with an iphone to get a pint is way beyond the call of duty imho.
**** the oil price & oil companies. The real crooks are Buxton, Evian, Highland & their ilk. Water bottling Companies. That's where your anger should be directed. £1.30 for 750ml at our local garage, that's £1.73 a litre. No drilling, no refining, no heavy taxes, just bottle to the tap & capped. Robbing ****s.
That's if they ever actually let anybody move , been waiting since the end of the season , at this rate it won't happen before the start of the season and then they will probably say nobody can move during the season I'm starting to think I should have cancelled and then maybe rejoined or maybe even ****ed it off completely
There was a move period not long after the season ended and the new prices were announced. I managed to move as my seat had gone up in price.
I don't know if this will apply to the whole ground, but the corporate passes are being replaced, we don't re-use last season's.
