    Rolling back anti-slavery laws would also be good for business.

    In fact some new laws making anyone whose net worth isn’t at least 50 million USD, a property of a randomly assigned mega-corporation, would be amazingly good for business!

        Someone’s gotta pick the berries now. Good thing food assistance has a work requirement of at least 20hrs per week!

      Very short term maybe, but you’d also lose costumers, as those have to have money to spend on goods. And as any given person has a finite amount of need for goods (even adding wastefulness) having a broad group of similarily wealthy people is much better for business in the long run. Now that doesn’t factor in global competition but you get the gist
