Imagine if Iwata's kid inherited Nintendo just cuz.

That's a buzzquote you just spouted.

idk, I wouldn't put my kid in charge just because it's my kid..

It all sounds flowery and nice.

But it's describing something horrid.

It isn't just a HOUSE they inherited.

it is literally the reason we social creatures build societies

It's a business. It affects millions.

so our kids can live in them too

etc etc

It's not. A house.

It's a business.

cant a business be property?

you want to seize the property of the bourgoisy my comrade 😛

You're starting at the wrong conclusion.

no one said anything about seizing

Don't give your business to your kids. Nepotism destroys business.

simply putting kid in charge because it's your kid is stupid if you care about the business

Only if your kid was the most talented worker.

In that rare scenario it's fine.

Meritocracy is everything. Quality control is everything.

Walmart is a zombie.

are you advocating for the state to enforce such a seperation upon buisnesses?

Damn he's onto me.

**CHEESE IT**

im honestly asking

"So what you're saying is.."

nope honest question

how would it look from your ideal end?

Kathy was being honest too I reckon.

is it just a suggestion that its bad, or do you believe someone should enforce this rule of yours?

I made my point clear already. There are laws and then there are good ideas.

Walmart has trespassed on good ideas.

treaspassed?

"They're a private company they can do what they want" And as a private PERSON I can shit on them all day every day.

yes, but do you want to state to do something about it or not

cause if not, they will keep doing it

Why do you keep asking that

cause they want to best for their kids

Have I even come close to implying such a thing.

you seem to want them to stop, i wanted to know how far you would go?

Okay, so we can acknowledge they're morons?

Yes?

And never follow in their footsteps?

Right?

we can acnowledge they are morons when the results show they are

The results do show they are.

universally? nope

Walmart is a joke.

Nepotism is bad. Can we agree?

If we can't agree to that, we can agree to nothing.

it is a very reasonable assumption that the kid that grew up in the household of a company owner might have picked up enough abour how a company should be run from his parent to continue the business, if trained and schooled properly.

It was a yes or no question frankly.

he will be better then an average at least

i dont follow your dicotemy, my faux australian didgeridude

nepotism is bad only when it results are bad

Nepotism innately steers things in the wrong direction

Good results are a matter of luck after that. A glitch, and not a feature.

im not a fan of royalty for example, but their empires have been the most stable troughout history

Stable for the sake of what?

good results are a matter of luck... oof

They don't create liberty and are fundamentally useless to me.

Sorry, what makes Walmart a joke now? They're still making tons of money, they just need to get a foothold against Amazon

how free do you want to be? i can kill anyone i want free, or do you agree there should be limits and responsibilities?

Which is a market wide problem

Wait, wait. Making tons of money keeps you from being a joke?

News to me.

On what basis is Walmart a joke? The purpose of a company is to make money. It does

Microsoft makes money too.

They fucked skype in the ass.

Hence, everyone now uses discord.

That's not really true either

It is.

Skype still sees a lot of use, especially in the business end

"A lot of"

all ye olde people still use skype

I abandoned it. And so did all my friends. And so did all their friends.

which is most people

Old people still use AOL.

i doubt many even know what discord is

aol isn't a thing anymore.

It's *new.*

skype is still used by public sector jobs

Skype is bad now.

>my anecdotes mean it's a joke

I notice no one is defending skype's quality.

Just that people use it.

Skype has been bad for years. Hasn't stopped it

That's true

Doesn't make MS a joke. It's a successful product

we dont need to defend its quality to make the point that people still use it

The goalpost!! It's sprinting away!!

Get back here you!!

aol quit its free model though, tried to make a pay service that no one bought into

--Err.

Are you sure you know what you're talking about..?

Free model? lol

aol was always shit but people used it lol

It was never free. s:

*Ever*
