      I’d love to see the rock you live under but it absolutely is how most large corporations operate. You quote economic theories as if they are fact, I’m speaking on the history of how large corporations have acted literally my entire life.

        Unlike you, I work with senior leaders at big corporations. It is most assuredly not how they operate.
