    the cost is obviously going to the customers, where else would it go?

    People have this idea that you can bleed money from corps and that corps will magic the money from somewhere other than customers.

      I mean, they could, they just won’t. Lower the pay of the higher ups and you’d have more free money magicked up.

      They don’t need magic the money out of anywhere, they already have it. They just have to want something other than to exploit whatever they can for profit, which is something they won’t consider.
