    They won’t be happy about it. You are right, they should be. But, they don’t have that kind of perspective.

    Being rich isn’t about money, it’s about ego. They think they could solve this with better outcomes and efficiency themselves, even though they will never actually do it.

    It’s why union busting is so popular from otherwise “good” companies run by “socially minded” executives. It’s why companies will continue to amass wealth to the point where it negatively effects customers ability to purchase their products. It’s why rich individuals continue to amass wealth when it doesn’t really improve their quality of life, they could just stop working.

    Because to them it’s just a contest. They just need to show they are better than someone else; first one person, then another, then another, real world outcomes and everyone else be damned. They will take it as far as they’re allowed until no one is left and everyone’s lives and the planet are catastrophically ruined.
