That would work for me. An element of evil exists in too many business decisions.

And greed. Businesses are urged to squeeze every nickle of profit. I read a man who owned a cabinet maker shop would gather and sell the sawdust and scrap wood for extra profit. Then he realized that the money was trivial so he allowed a man and his son to come pick up the shavings and scrap and they sold it.

It is a very old practice called gleaning mentioned in the Old Testament in Ruth where the poor would come after the harvesters and collect overlooked grain. It gives the poor dignity.

Back in the day, blacks would pick cotton by hand after the mechanical picker went through and sell the cotton. Working is beneath too many people’s dignity today.
