This reminds me of someone I was talking with about their growing, modestly successful startup. They were bragging to me about how they didn't even have to worry about paying benefits, healthcare, retirement, etc. to their contractors in Mexico.

I said something like "Yuck, who needs healthcare and basic life standards" and he sincerely replied "Exactly!"

Business is full of people like this. If it's not full blown sociopathy then it's definitely a grievous lack of awareness, turning humans into an inhumane abstraction.
