   Ooooh!   
      
   Corporations, now more than ever, will work their employees into the   
   ground just to save a penny in profits.   
      
   Disability, if NOT out right Industrial Accidents / Deaths, is the   
   natural outcome of the profit motive to constantly make more and more   
   money, while offering fewer and fewer work benefits.  States are also   
   refusing to pay workers compensation to injured workers for just about   
   any excuse.   
      
   Loyalty does NOT exist in today's job market.
