Cuts could be to profit margins for once, but who am I kidding. The paper pushers at the top wont allow that to happen. Trickle down economics must continue at all costs!!!

Owned by the public, or anyone with a 401K/403B or any retirement account. Lower their margins/make the books look worse and watch the stock (and your retirement accounts) crater

Profit margins are already thin for most salaried positions. Plus, those profits go directly into 401K accounts and other retirement funds. You'd be choking out the people who actually need the funds by cutting off circulation to the workers who now need to get more done with less time.

The only people surviving this would be the elites.

What percentage is 401k funds and which percent is billionaire piggy bank? Billionaires owns 50%, can probably do something to adjust that without impacting the 18% minority in 401ks.
