They could cut all the corporatism-fascism crap to reduce expenses and focus their attentions on delivering quality products and services that benefit their customers.

We used to call that overhead.

Back when I taught business courses, I would walk into the classroom the first evening, and immediately grab the overhead projector and place it on the floor. I would then turn to the class and say, "I have just taught you the most important lesson in business, that you must remember even if you forget everything else in this course. The most important lesson is this: the best way to maximize profit is to lower your overhead."

The students never got the joke. Eventually the projectors were replaced by more contemporary technology anyway.

Great joke. I would be laughing my ass off in your class.

My first accounting teacher used to say:
A business should be run like a one story cat house - no f’n over head.

“lower your overhead”

Some of the old-timers used the word “nut” instead of “overhead”.

“I need to make my nut” to stay in business.

You could have had a lot of fun with that.
