Also, reducing costs, promoting growth and increasing revenue nets them fat bonuses they can then use to purchase another Porsche, or a new yacht. The interests of the workers and the interests of the C-suite are fundamentally opposed, so they will always pay them as little as they can get away with without breaking the law (and even that doesn't stop some of them - ask Starbucks and Amazon.) It's an adversarial relationship. As soon as they can replace human workers with robots, they will.

      Well, at the end of the day, most people want to be like their rich forbears-Benzos, Smuckerberg, Buffet, and Musk.
      Most people are rough and ready out on the highways and bi ways, the football fields, the gyms, and the snack aisles of America. When the day ends, we can find commonality in our favorite Netflix series where we can match wits with the good guy/bad guy, periodically check in with our favorite Tiktok celebrity, test out that brand new Chinese imported electric foot massager that was purchased fairly reasonably from the local big box over the weekend, or even tune into one of our favorite news hour variety shows, such as, but not limited to-Morning Joe, Judge Jeanine, or Bill O'reilly.
      But, I can tell you that we see things a bit differently up here in northern Maine, close to the border with our brethren the Quebecois. Our people come from a group of French people that fled the French Terror and arrived in the New World a while back. We are the direct descendants of one Marcel Dubois. Anyway, we've decided to tune out the talking heads of the news cycle on our old Sony with rabbit ears, and now prefer to cook something that reflects our French heritage. Tonight, my uncle Pierre Rivard Dauphinoise will be making a delicious "crepes aux fruits de mer", or in English, seafood crepes. After dinner, we'll be doing a collective reading from the works of Robbespierre and Voltaire. Then, my cousin Eloise Pompideau will entertain our group with medieval French songs performed on her antique hurdy gurdy.

It's the American who pays that money. He pays double the price of the product.. thereby causing inflation. Hiking of prices of goods and services.
      It's the American population which suffers but local companies will be protected from competition. And they will hold their monopoly they will set prices as they wish, overprice poor quality goods. Making their CEOs richer.
      And Americans will be told their country is best, their economy is growing. China is a threat, the immigrants have taken your jobs forgetting this was an immigrant nation to begin with. The rich become richer and the poor become poorer and Americans won't be able to afford even eggs.
