I understood the claim. I object to speaking about it in hypothetical terms when real people aren't eating.
Also I think it is clearly false. I have yet to encounter a business that wasn't always trying to improve their bottom line. If they are currently getting by with a set number of employees they will not hire more, they will pocket the difference.

I actually do think it's obvious.
