I think the phrasing needs to be adjusted for the audience. These corporations and governments don't seem to grasp that if wide swaths of the population is unemployed, there's no more taxes and profits to be had.

Remember, governments need 10 years to even get educated on things that have happened in the past 5. CEO's only think ahead to the next 90 days ffs.
