<p>Sounds like an episode of Prairie Home Companion . I can hear Mr. Keillor narrating !</p>
<p>Alh, not any different then shopping for the lowest of low prices,or cutting back in your household budgets…Cable bill is too costly so you eliminate the movie package,cable company loses revenue lays off some people…those people no longer have a job,spend less at Best Buy,who then has less revenue and lays off some Geek Squad guys,who now no longer have a job,so they cutback on the Lattes at Starbucks, and so on and so on…a death spiral of sorts</p>
<p>^ works the opposite, too. Give better salaries and annual raises, generous health benefits and vacation policy- and need to pay for it. Raise prices. Or, get by with fewer staff. Risk lower service levels and customers walking away. </p>
<p>We should attack executive compensation. Those policies that find reasons to pay some tippy-tops in the millions.</p>
<p>Death spiral I do see…
Way out I do not…</p>
