Problem? Isn't this the goal of any company - make a lot of money, primarily for the shareholders, but in this case employees are also the shareholders themselves. They are not a charity, they're in this to make money.
One of the rare example of success in capitalism.
(and maybe a taste of what different systems could achieve if we didn't separate ownership and employment)
Yeah, really awesome that 2 decades of market manipulation allowed them to be the monopoly on AI. Such good capitalism, when even the longest silicon producer, Intel, can't even compete. I love my two party capitalism.
Capitalist solution: Pay better.
There's only so many times you can break apart a company that essentially makes 'one' product lol.
The solution are the bent sheet metal cans that only take one manufacture, a few machines, and some steel to make. The way folded towels have been dispensed for >50 years. But everyone needs to make money on everything, so having a metal can that you pull one folded paper towel from isn't enough control over the one person that wants to steal the whole thing.
