more money for doing nothing? i don't want to live in a world like that. what part of this is not clear?

two options

- the 4000 employees can still be employed in block - thats around $600,000,000 that goes into literally no value and this is price borne by us consumers

- or the 4000 employees get fired and work in different companies that actually require them so that we as consumers can actually buy more products

by choosing option 1, you not only accept that as consumers we pay more for the product, but also miss out on other valuable work the 4000 employees can do. no good economy runs this way.
