Our family has a bit of a thing when we're out to dinner and a question comes up. "Do you want to know the answer, or do you just want to talk about it?" I'd say it's about 80/20 for "talk about it".

Excess profit is wage theft, but there was an expectation that companies would take care of their employees. There was also an expectation that one man would earn enough to support a family, & you could pay for college by working the summer. Guessing I'm a lot older than you, so this may be news.
