Any business that buys inventory at $15 and sells it for $10 is going to go out of business. What complicated dynamic would change that?

(Yes, I know that often businesses miscalculate the value of an employee, and it may have other sources of profit that cover the losses, etc., but it doesn't change the reality that the profit motive will squeeze such things out.)

People are not inventory.
