companies really have got to be okay with stagnant profits. what is wrong with earning the same amount every year? why does it always have to be more? it’s not sustainable. there are only so many people on the planet you can profit from 😭
This is the thing. If there are only so many people they can profit from, and they demand to see profits go up every year, they will have to steal more out of the pockets of the little people each year, either by paying less, or by charging more. And that is the problem. Because that is exactly what is happening. And the rich get richer. And the poor are getting so poor that it is coming to a crisis point. They seem to have forgotten what happens at the crisis point though: people who have nothing to lose, will rise up and fight.
All true but the biggest problem is literally the stock market. Companies having shareholders is what forces them to always push for ever increasing profits year after year no matter what. Succesful private companies can do whatever they want but publicly traded companies always have their board of directors breathing down their necks about profits and shareholders. And those people generally do not care about social issues sadly. So we have our current situation of corporations continuing to kill the planet and the poor constantly because if they don’t “oh no the number go down”. Governments are obviously to blame too for not legislating them harder but that’s a whole other university essay about corruption. :(
