“Growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of the cancer cell”
The stock price will fall if we don’t make more money then we did last year.
- But why?
Because we are legally obliged to do what is best for shareholder, or they can sue us.
- Right so the company needs to make more money again and again and again until the company or the world dies
About sums it up
I think it’s a great idea in theory. Basically a form of decentralised loans. You need money to invest, you sell shares of your company to get some cash. In return the shareholders get a return if you succeed. And of course they can sell their shares if now your company is worth more. Seems alright with me tbh.
But nowadays it just seems like a fucking casino.
I don’t know if you can have that ideology without it eventually turning into what it currently is.
It isn’t a great idea even in theory. Even ideally, workers inalienable rights to appropriate the fruits of their labor and to democracy are still violated. These rights flow from the moral principle that legal and de facto responsibility should match. In a company, employees are jointly de facto responsible for using up the inputs to produce the outputs, but receive 0% of property rights and liabilities. The employer is held solely legally responsible resulting in a mismatch
I thought this was about a cereal for a hot second.
Really? I’ve never even tried them but I always assumed they were basically apple flavored cheerios.
Apple Jacks are my number two, only behind Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
Also, number two, behind. Heh.
Please vote with your money. Don’t waste money and buy overpriced stuff and certainly don’t support this kind of business practice. And fuck the shareholders too. If they want money, then work like most people.
Already do. Used to buy new phone every year. Now it’s every three years or so. That is completely due to price and lack of compelling innovation. Don’t care if shareholders make money or not. I just like good value.
I’m the same. I just got a 15 as my xr screen is cracked and the batter lasts half a day.
I’m home sick and didn’t even open the box yet.
I’m not particularly excited for a new phone, but my xr is just not working well enough any longer.
I read Apple Jack’s like the cereal and was confused
Yea, I was like, “Who the fuck would get a cereal subscription for Apple Jacks?”
One of the biggest drawbacks of buying iOS devices is you can’t leave. I swap everything out on my laptop and phones as needed, but on iOS you’re stuck with Apple’s app store, Apple’s operating system, oftentimes Apple hardware, and there’s nothing you can do about it. It simply ends up being so expensive.
I’ve swapped between iOS and Android several times. There’s literally nothing stopping you from switching other than minor inconveniences.
You have a high opinion of the average idiot being able to navigate any of this. These are people that are confused by a two button mouse…
Unless there are apps you use regularly that cost a lot of money and you don’t want to pay for them again.
