As the caterpillar chooses proverb

 As the caterpillar chooses the fairest leaves to lay her eggs on, so the priest lays his curse on the fairest joys.
  William Blake

 Caterpillar is a powerful symbol of this process. It dominates its field. It is one of America's largest exporters, and it is very profitable. If there ever was a company that could bring back the social contract of the mid-20th century, it is Caterpillar. But it chooses not to.

 I think it's the fairest way of doing it.
