I fucks with this heavy.
The idea that a business has to earn more every quarter is unsustainable.
Im not saying businesses shouldnt earn as much as they can.
What im saying is that if a company makes $2Bs in profit for a quarter, wall street expects that business to make more the next quarter. If that business makes $1.9Bs the next quarter, their shares fall.
That shit is unsustainable. A company cant make more every quarter. But in trying to do so, that company tries to cut corners and ends up in a situation where they have to reduce cost. And the easiest way to reduce cost is to pay your employees less.
That whole way of thinking needs to change.
