      Cost of doing business, they’ll nickle and dime the populace until they can’t.

      As for those complaining about people getting paid more it’s usually one of three things, selfish ‘I’ve got mine’ types wondering why they haven’t got theirs and someone else has, bad actors, mindless drones.
