"You can hire lots of humans to work at a normal pace and give them psychological counseling, and spend so much on their salaries that you'll go out of business, "

They could hire 10000 people at 100k each. This would cost 1 billion per year making 3 billion every quarter.

Plus, somehow in all this discussion, people seem to be accepting the idea on its face that somehow psychological counseling would fix said issues.

Maybe in some cases it would, but we are far from being able to cure many psychological problems consistently.

And how much infrastructure would be required to keep those 10000 going? How much office space, IT equipment, managers, etc.

You’re suggesting that the company should grow its headcount by around 40%!
