But we're also both apparently thinking of different scale businesses. I'm thinking of middle to small businesses, where I think the bulk of jobs are (haven't checked the data on that one), and it sounds like you're thinking of larger businesses.

That first point might be labor's most attractive feature right now.

Yes, I was thinking larger.
