      Corporations are already upset about the push to pay existing workers more money. To have much more paid time off means they’d have to hire more workers to cover those (already run lean) shifts, AND pay them leave time too. Think of the profit loss!

        You mean a decease in Profit Margins

        There profits will increase because more people have more money to spend and time to spend that money

          Ha, you’re right, and isn’t it ironic that doing the better thing for everyone ends up being more profitable? It’s almost like they aren’t concerned with the actual value that’s lost, but more the difference between them and everyone else.

              Back on Reddit I had a very old post reply saved from someone who through his work and connections had an inside view of the “wealthy”, and they broke down the change from money to power as one goes from “just” millionaire to higher up. When money becomes no longer a concern, or rather when obtaining “stuff” (as Carlin would say) is no longer a factor, how much power and influence becomes more of a way to compare one’s wealth to another. It may not even be important anymore on net value if one has a bigger leverage arm on things.

                That’s spot on, and a lot their resistance to any sort of regulation is more out of distaste that the lessers put rules on them and it’s their right to abuse others and the environment

                Progress can’t be made without that understanding
