Charter provides a positive data point for Libertarians and deregulators

Charter is raising the minimum wage for its 95,000 employees to $15 per hour, including target commissions, the company announced in a blog post Friday. The telecom giant is crediting "the general deregulatory environment" in Washington for allowing it to increase its workforce and capital investments.

I'm feeling skeptical. Why?
Charter says the regulatory environment will allow the company to invest in more than just employees, but also its high-speed broadband network in rural areas.



Re-elect Trump.

I'm glad to hear about the pay raise. I'd be even happier if they raised it to an actual living wage. But now I wonder what they want deregulated aside from their win on net netrality.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
