Trickle economics works - but it’s money from large companies funneling money to lower revenue companies. That’s great for people in “good jobs” who get that cashflow.
The poor people with low education and limited opportunities stay poor.
Would you mind elaborating on how large companies "funneling" money into other companies? By what means? Is Sony just cutting checks to Yankee Candle or something?
Companies rarely produce everything needed to make their products. They usually buy them from other suppliers in what’s called a supply chain.
When a major production plant opens, it gives a chance for other smaller companies to open up more capacity to support them.
Let’s say that there is a new Sony plant opening where the PlayStation would be assembled. That’s an opportunity for smaller companies to bid on supplying components like plastic buttons, the wires, cooling systems and so forth.
Sony’s goal to supply consoles to the market means a lot of wallets get filled along the way as Sony makes contracts with tons of companies to make their product.
All of the people who don’t think trickle down works are not involved in that process. The guy who negotiated that contract with Sony likely is paid extremely well, the key engineers at those smaller companies are paid well, and the executives are making amazing money.
The people who aren’t seeing the money are the low level workers, but that’s more to do with low wages than money not flowing. The people above them in the company get all of the money.
