Now imagine every employee in your city, regardless of industry, got a 7% inflation raise. This would then push prices up even more. Pushing inflation up even more. Pushing even more inflation raises next year. Rinse. Repeat. It's a ne

I feel bad for Twitter employees or potential employees right now. You KNOW Musk has no intention on converting unvested RSUs to cash. He'll either get rid of them completely while giving everyone a 10% raise (common Twitter TC is 50%
