Sorry, can't rep you again, but thanks for the positive compilation, and let's hope it continues to grow!
IF you really wanted truth you wouldn't imply the Tax Bill was responsible for these benefits without justifying that implication.
Twisting words here.... The tax bill is not responsible for the good will. It's the rich, evil CEOs investing in their people. The tax bill is providing a new environment for investment. It's an indirect factor.

The Democrats are happy with minimum wage increases because NONE of the gains from the payoffs listed above accrue to actual minimum wage earners!
i.e. if not for Democrats, minimum wage earners would continue to lose purchasing power to inflation.
GOP tax cuts = $15/mo for MW workers. Soon to be followed by $100/mo rent hikes when rents necessarily skyrocket.
Those grapes sure must be sour. Bad year for you indeed.
3 of those companies employ ~26,000 in the Charlotte metro. Things are very good in NC and getting better due to this tax bill.
Merry Christmas!
These bonuses actually offer a good illustration of how the tax cuts will hasten the economic downfall of many low-wage workers who have never seen a bonus.
Those bonus babies now have more money in their pockets, and combined with the extra dollars in everyone else's pockets, rents will necessarily skyrocket and many low-wage workers will find themselves worse off than before the tax cuts.
No - I want truth. If there is a bad side, please supply some detail... and can it be beyond the normal envy that others will benefit?
Yes, rents will necessarily skyrocket when hundreds of billions of dollars are added to consumer pockets.
i.e. doesn't bother me if tens of millions get hundreds of billions in tax cuts, but it does bother me when tens of millions bid up rents and I have to pay more.
What better time to raise the rent than when you KNOW your customers got a tax cut?
IF you really wanted truth you wouldn't imply the Tax Bill was responsible for these benefits without justifying that implication.
I think the tax bill was the primary factor responsible for these benefits, while obviously not the only factor,
