Experiment - a two second un-muting of CNBC's Joe Kernen and Jack Welch:
We usually have the station muted at work since the talk between commentators distracts the traders. I raised the volume of a conversation between ultra-right-wing asshat Joe Kernen and alpha-right-wing wealthmonger joke Jack Welch:

Welch:" . . . Other countries"

Kernen: "And all they would do is take our PROSPERITY away."

Aaaaaand back on mute.

Followed by a graphic of the unemployment rate.

Are there any business channels that AREN'T veiled RNC propaganda outlets?

2. they are preaching to the choir...
most business people see the employees as a problem--they cost too much no matter how little they make and they are never as compliant as desired.

3. Well, no living wage employees = no business.
Surely, they must have heard even Nazi-sympathizer Hank Ford say that somewhere along the way.

This dilemma they have . . . how to get business without business and how to run business without employees . . . well, both are pure fantasy that they need to just WAKE THE HELL UP from.
