First that's her. Then I am going to entirely ignore yoir pointless jab at developers. The discussion was strictly about Baker 150% raise. The 2017 deal was a 8% increase in revenue. That's a significant slow down of the increase

This is a self-defeating cycle. You cut salaries because you see less demand. People have less money so they consume less and you see less demand. We will definitely need a some kind of a new New Deal when this is over. We can't count
