      I worked a company that had a round a layoffs because even though it was profitable that quarter, it was less profit than wall street expected so the stock price went down and the CEO laid off people to show the market he was "responding".

            Isn't that what employers are doing when refusing to implement safety measures during a pandemic?

              That's just normal capitalism. I thought more of public sacrifices on the altar of Wall Street Line Temple to appease The Market to dissuade it from crushing us.
