I believe they all did, buoyed by the profit results during covid.  They realized they would be allowed by the regulatory community to get by with minimal staffing, okaying minimal effort, and still turning a fair profit. So learning that, why would they increase staffing? They assume they can maintain the bare bones, working employees to the bone, and maintain even bigger  profit margins.

Corporate greed will always remain. Thinking otherwise is partisan nonsense. If you doubt that, check out the stock portfolios of members of the House and Senate.

It's this type of of response that keeps America from the greatness she deserves. "I'll vote against my own self interest if it hurts people that don't look like me or speak like me."

My whole point of the quote from Robert Reich is that these companies can afford to be taxed more. They'll spend millions into think tanks to come up with ways to convince you that taxation is theft and communism. They'll point out all of these social safety net programs that are eating up the system when in fact, none of them would need to be cut without the exploitive and exclusive Bush and Trump tax cuts. Those companies have proven that they NEVER needed that money. One of the selling points of the tax cuts was the extra money that they were going to have to create more jobs. More GOP bullshit.
