This is what happens when you don't pay people and/or don't pay for enough people.

Don't want service disruptions? Don't run so lean that the proverbial (or, god help us, literal) wheels fall off).

I know this is hard for the wealthy to understand, but the working class doesn't exist just to buy things. Hint: it's in the name, working class.
- This is what wealthy people think of the working class:

  I've seen this, and it's galling.
  
  COVID really ripped the mask off the capitalist class: they hate us because they have to pay us, they hate us because they need us to buy things, and they hate us because they don't yet have all the money. And when money was cheap and interest rates low they could ignore us because they were able to ignore us and pretend that money just happened.
  
  That's changed, and I think we'll see the rich and their neoliberal enablers in government becoming very hostile towards labour in as things get tighter.

Its hard to be worse than Charles de Gaul, but they are trying real hard.
