I remember how fun it was when Martha Stewart was invited one year. But don't worry Anzel, current leftie Arianna Huffington-Puffington is invited and will have updates and inside gossip in a few days on her post.
In regard to how this relates to the minimum wage, I don't know of a poll of their sentiments on minimum wage increases - but the smarter CEO's, like Satya, are probably in favor of the increases.
Ansel, if you didn't grow up among them and have never shared their company for an extended period, you could be forgiven for not realizing just how little wealthy people are aware of people who make minimum wage, much less the reality of the lives of those trying to survive on such low wages.
"Those people" are little more than data in a spreadsheet, an amusing anecdote, and a momentary distraction...the middle management's problem.
Wealth segregates the rich from the rest of humanity and produces a kind of sociopathic behavior. You can see a similar disconnect between well-payed, college-educated professionals in the suburbs and upper income neighborhoods. They see lower classes of people as "others" and refer to them in terms that clearly reveal that segregated point of view. They see a distinct and separate group, not individuals and certainly not peers.
By the way, paranoia is part of the Microsoft culture; so, any meeting has the feeling of being unnecessarily secretive. Microsoft is simply courting investors and customers with this meeting; the rich need a bit of stroking now and again...and again...and again...
It's just another conference. The attendees happen to all be rich fucks, but it's gonna be some guy onstage with a mic saying things nobody who attended is going to be talking about two weeks later.
See what happens when you take words out of context to further your own lying agenda.

Microsoft is headquartered in Redmond. Most of its commercial office space along with most of its employees in the area live in and around Redmond, Bellevue, Kirkland and Issaquah.
I have an idea, why don't you go over there and protest the meeting? I know, I know, this means leaving the Seattle city limits as well as waking up before noon.

Has anyone asked Kshama Sawant if she's supporting Plan C, a real estate tax?

Weak.
Right "city," right "stereotype."
Look, now we agree.

So, where is YOUR confusion exactly, Phil?
Are you seeing things and hearing voices again?
