I could tell you that but you know as well as I do I'd be lying, and how often they say the quiet part out loud these days.

This is literally what is brainwashed into these cult members in modern MBA programs. This obvious ridiculousness is the conventional wisdom now. @duffmcdonald chronicled a lot of that nicely in "The Golden Passport"

End federal support for the schools where they learned that cruel ideology. They sure didn't learn that in kindergarten.

Human beings need breaks, time off, sick days, 3 meals a day, 8 hours of sleep, training, health care, weekends, regular reviews, evaluations, and raises. CEOs who do not understand that need to be hauled into court.

It’s possible, they could have pricing leverage that has nothing to do with fixed labor costs. Do you know what a P&L is and how it works?

Wow, they are literally wearing something like a“ kick me” sign that bullies put on people. People are gonna say they had it coming. 🤔
Replying to @marwilliamson @LeverNews
You know they did

What do they even mean though? Either they are admitting to record profits through inflating their prices, or the workers should just strike since their labor won’t make a difference to the bottom line. Something’s not adding up.
