They could all give their employees raises and/or benefits but are more concerned with union busting and shareholder returns.
Corporate welfare.

2023 profits by company: Heinz Kraft: $8.973 billion Exxon Mobil: $9.1 billion JP Morgan: $49 billion Delta Airlines: $4.6 billion Amazon: $9.9 billion Apple Inc: $97 billion Tesla: $13.6 billion Verizon: $78.6 billion Albertsons: $21.75 billion Walmart: $155 billion Target: $25.2 billion Nike: $22.65 billion Blue Cross & Shield: $7.5 billion Kaiser: $3.29 billion What does this have to do with anything? Starbucks made $24.56 billion in profits for 2023. Which means it could give each of its 400,000 employees an $11,000 raise and would still have $20 billion in profit. But instead workers rely on tips. Corporate profits are driving inflation. #TaxTheRich

    It's not parody. It's not The Onion.

    This is the actual world we live in now...

    "Mystery Billionaire Buys Apocalypse-Ready Bunker Surrounded By Fire Moat"

    In a dystopic but perhaps unsurprising turn, the ultra-wealthy are investing in fortified shelters like never before. Mark Zuckerberg’s purchase of a 5,000-square-foot bunker beneath his Kauai ranch has set off something of a buying frenzy, with the global elite seeking refuge from future threats like armed conflict, cyberattacks, and climate change.

    But it’s far worse than just bunkers: Al Corbi, president of Strategically Armored & Fortified Environments, is overseeing the creation of custom designs for the uber-rich that go far beyond traditional shelters. His most ambitious project to date is an island fortress with a 30-foot-deep lake surrounded by a flammable liquid moat, water cannons for aerial threats, and a whole lot more, set to be completed in 2025.

    You have to be a broken person to have all that money and you're building a water park bunker to die alone in, rather than than investing your wealth into creating a better world... or at least more bunker space for humanity.
