What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”
What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”
Funny how that works.

On this day in 1972, Godzilla vs. Gigan premiered. Gigan was not only one of Godzilla’s nastiest foes, but he’s also one of my favorite Kaiju monsters ever. Happy birthday, Terror Tummy!
