      “We had a 2% reduction in profits this year guys, 😭”

      “The company lost money?”

      “What? Oh no! But we made 3 bn in profits last year and we only made 2.8bn this year… So to make up for the shortfall, we’ll be reducing 401k contributions.”

      “…didn’t the CEO get a 200million bonus-”

      “WE ALL NEED TO MAKE SACRIFICES!”

      Every capitalist: You did great, and we know all the prior meetings talked about record profits, but we just can’t afford to give you a bonus. Soooorryyyyyyyyy.
