@rbreich wallstreet 1987 summarized it fairly well.

I am not a destroyer of companies. I am a liberator of them! The point is, ladies and gentlemen, that greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right, greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms: greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge, has marked the upward surge of mankind. And greed, you mark my words, will not only save Teldar Paper, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA. Thank you very much.

@rbreich sad part is if the workers want more then they get treated as if it is a bad form of greed instead of rewarding those who make all things possible.

@thomastraynor @rbreich at first yes - but if they keep going, they win and are rewarded. That is how child labour got banned, vacation days established, mother protection manifested, parental care payment installed... If you stop at the first "no", you stay in your corner. That is not what workers in Europe did, they kept going, fought and won again and again. Not every time but often. That is the way to go. Peacefully resist and go.
