That's where the exploitation comes in. You cut every cost so that the cost is lower to make up for it. Cut taxes, employee salaries, social welfare, pension, environmental protections, legal protections, net profits go up.

After all more valueadd, and increased production is more important than the actual human beings this valueadd was originally intended to benefit.
