Capitalism doesn’t make claims in those regards though.
Workers do get paid first in most cases as I got paid when a business I worked for was forced to sell (liquor store that flagrantly violated laws). The people who lost out were the owners who could not sell the business, its stock of booze, or its license.
Are you telling me that you were regularly given cost of living raises as the company raked in millions in profits per year far beyond their employee expense would otherwise be, or are you telling me that you got your last paycheck when the business folded?
Why are you presuming they were making tremendous amounts of money on the order of millions after payroll? I mentioned it was a liquor store. The owner made a few hundred grand and paid people well. We all got two weeks severance in addition to our checks. He was an asshole but he paid well and did not fuck around on that point.

Because the thread is about automakers making their highest profits and not your anecdote about a badly run liquor shack
