If this mentally challenged 2 yo old (apologies to 2 yr olds) would manage to complete a thought he might realize that:

After
"Employing people is a cost. And when that cost rises, fewer people are going to be employed."

You get
"And fewer people employed buy less of our shitty products". Leading to cutting more employees,etc,etc

Notice that in the whole screed there is no mention of the "cost" of maintaining shareholder PROFITS. Which of course it's all about. Nor that the product sucks, etc.
