and that comes back to fair pay and happy and healthy labor.

employees that are paid a fair wage spend more money, which increases profits.

So not making employees happy and healthy is a myopic, short term, kneejerk greed response that hampers and prevents growth and profits.

And I fully agree. But I'm not a CEO. I'm not a shareholder. I'm a worker. Am I paid fairly? Maybe. According to the market-based raise I got last year, I am. Our own CEO admitted that our wages don't scale with CoL, though.
