As someone that used to think the same way as you, and then got to see other side of the business (my wife is a Veterinarian who runs an urgent care facility) —— it’s easy to think the way you do without seeing the costs incurred on the other side.

There is enough wealth created in our economy to cover these costs, and more, but heaven forbid a company not make more profit this year than last.
