I work in a school. I often remember there are ALOT more students than staff. They cant ALL be on dentention at once... Wish i could tell the students that, but i also like my job and want to keep it.
If your company can't promise more profit than a bank account makes interest, you won't get invested in and can't buy the means of production.
How can a business/company grow and develop if it doesnt make net profit?
Easy. By definition, if the money is going back into the business it isn't profit. It's overhead.
By making a profit and not increasing it by underpaying employees.
yeah, anything above a certain percent I can see as theft from working class, but profit is expected to some degree. that alone doesn't paint a full picture at all.
Exactly. What really bugs me about lefty/antiwork sentiment lately is that it increasingly seems to be built upon and pushing fundamentally flawed black/white style concepts with unrealistic demands that don't understand the nuances of the world we live in.
This is antithetical to progress, it alienates many supporters and breeds politically useless extremism.
No, profits are the difference between what a person is willing to accept to do a job, and what someone is willing to pay for their production less the cost to make it.
Profit isn't theft. If you want the full value of your work produce the good or service yourself. If you can't, pay someone to do the things you can't. Oh look, business.
Are certain players taking a ridiculous profit- yes. Are people suffering because of it - yes. Could it be done better - absolutely. But just because you don't like something it doesn't make it theft.
