This is a fun song to sing.

2019-02-05 00:19:51 UTC  

Japan was used as an example if how CEOs can cut profits and still benefit the company

2019-02-05 00:20:01 UTC  

You mean cut their salaries

2019-02-05 00:20:17 UTC  

^ why would a company cut profit

2019-02-05 00:20:23 UTC  

as punishment for fucking up and reducing company profit

2019-02-05 00:20:29 UTC  

cut profit litterally means falure

2019-02-05 00:20:37 UTC  

In the case of Nintendo yes, it was his own salary but he got money from shares

2019-02-05 00:20:58 UTC  

What you mean is you want executives to be punished when the company fucks up

2019-02-05 00:21:24 UTC  

remember that the overwhelming majority of Profit is reinvested

2019-02-05 00:21:33 UTC  

How did you draw that conclusion?

2019-02-05 00:21:43 UTC  

If you think companies *should* reinvest more of their profits into their company including human capital, that is fair. I don't think a company should be forced to do so.

2019-02-05 00:22:04 UTC  

Because you said case in point nintendo

2019-02-05 00:22:11 UTC  

But nintendo didnt give their workers more pay

2019-02-05 00:22:21 UTC  

They didnt in fact increase their worker's benefits in anyway

2019-02-05 00:22:33 UTC  

No changes to the culture

2019-02-05 00:22:53 UTC  

I’m sure that money went back to the company in some way

2019-02-05 00:23:03 UTC  

You gave no evidence that nintendo did anything to help workers

2019-02-05 00:23:18 UTC  

the only thing the CEO did was take a reduced salary

2019-02-05 00:24:11 UTC  

Therefore what you want so far is for workers to get more money any way possible and for executives to sacrifice for it

2019-02-05 00:24:34 UTC  

Profit is the money earned ABOVE the cost of doing business, including salaries of employees, this excess money is used to expand companies such as adding more products, more services, and updating infrastructure

2019-02-05 00:24:55 UTC  

and also more employees

2019-02-05 00:25:04 UTC  

Its also used to create a buffer for when the company doesnt make profit to allow it to continue to operate

2019-02-05 00:25:18 UTC  
2019-02-05 00:25:19 UTC  

I have no issue with a CEO willingly taking a smaller salary to reinvest more revenue into the employee salaries, if they want to do so. I am against forcing them to.

2019-02-05 00:25:54 UTC  

If a company does that and you like it support that decision by buying their products/services.

2019-02-05 00:26:00 UTC  

^

2019-02-05 00:26:03 UTC  

If a company doesn't then do the opposite.

2019-02-05 00:26:14 UTC  

That's how a free market works

2019-02-05 00:26:18 UTC  

exactly

2019-02-05 00:26:21 UTC  

You dont even have to buy their products or services to support them or hurt them

2019-02-05 00:26:32 UTC  

You guys clearly want to maintain a strawman for any view to the left of Sauron. I feel I have wasted my time with basement nerds. A shame Tim’s community is not equally open minded as he is.

2019-02-05 00:26:33 UTC  

very true now-a-days

2019-02-05 00:26:33 UTC  

you can speak out against or in favor of them on social media

2019-02-05 00:27:06 UTC  

Nothing in your state priorities was about freedom

2019-02-05 00:27:20 UTC  

@RekItRalph What exactly are you trying to promote here? YOu have only made one solid statement that you thnk rich people don't deserve their money

Be more clear in your position if I'm not accurate

2019-02-05 00:27:32 UTC  

What you did was a charicature of leftist talking points and then acted surprised when people thought you were a leftist

2019-02-05 00:27:48 UTC  

What is more liberal than a free market

2019-02-05 00:28:15 UTC  

B-but theres a class system so its not communist

2019-02-05 00:29:42 UTC  

I just want to redistribute the wealth to workers by making the owners give up their wealth and giving the workers what they're owed
