>Can we stop comparing business to war? In war, you destroy the enemy, and pay in blood and gold. It's a matter of life and death, and the strategic objectives are black and white. War is just a continuation of politics, and politics are neither black nor white. Neither strategic objectives are black and white - due to fog of war and imperfect intelligence. >Business is not really like this. It kinda can be, if you drive out competition, attaining a virtual monopoly(you keep one competing company on life support while you reap all the benefits, without having all the disadvantages of being a literal monopoly) on your speciality you are literally destroying a livelihood of all people employed by your competition. >First, if everyone doesn't go home, you're going to have a major problem with OSHA. if your employees are desperate enough, they will comply, especially in countries with lack of social safety net. Is it horrible? absolutely yes, and we should do everything from system perspective to prevent it.
