I had lunch with a co-worker that spoke with a stupid grin about shaving a couple of cents off of their production units in the manufacturing process. Our products costed hundreds to even thousands of dollars.

I can't believe there are people alive that are proud of this kind of stuff. He didn't even have a stock compensated position, or work in manufacturing. He was just a capitalist creep that loved the very concept of being a cheap dumpster fire.
