Tired workers cost biz billions. NO SHIT

Business owners ARE LAZY, sure there are many who like being in the trenches and getting dirty. But most are really nothing but bean counters who sit in an air condition office delegating work dreaming up ways to get investors. And I am not even against that. What I am against is when someone does do that, they stupidly think they did it all by themselves.

Business owners aren't lazy. It's only that we get less and less of this dying out species. One could argue that shareholder companies are still owned by people, but the parameters have changed entirely. Shareholders expect instant gratification, they appoint CEOs, the CEOs have to fulfill the demand of the shareholders. Not only to keep their jobs but to earn their bonusses. That's not a model where someone created a business and invests their lifeblood to make it prosper. We're living in a world where short time gains are all the rage and workers have become a cheap commodity. That's moving back to the 19th century instead of movig forward.

On the other hand, business needs consumers. The less you pay, the more jobs you ship out to low wage countries, the less consumers you get. At one time this model will blow up in their faces. Has to, since they want to sell their products in countries where they're drying out the workforce.
