I'm sure this will be an unpopular opinion, but any publicly traded company no longer needs to post a profit. Boomers are retiring and 401ks ensure that these companies will make money purely from "value potential". Maybe in 20 or so years as the demographics change this will be different, but this is how I see it going down today.

If all of America collectively decided not to purchase from publicly traded companies, and instead only bought from small local companies for just one month. I doubt it would even register on a YTD stock price chart. It would need to be a true philosophical change in how we consume products, and it would have to last for longer than a month to be effective. On top of that, only privileged households will realistically be able to "choose" not to buy consumer goods.

I think we should all buy less and be more mindful of where our money goes. I think we should buy locally and promote businesses that you agree with on levels beyond the value of the good or services they offer as often as possible. However, I don't think we can effectively protest this way unless it was a true lifestyle change for a large portion of the country.

I certainly would rather focus on making money for myself then a company if those are my two choices during work hours.

But really, I'd rather be farming and playing with my daughter.

Are we sure that this is satire? Have you guys heard of deepseek and how it's somehow bad that China has the ability to hallucinate as well as American proprietary companies do but for only a fraction of the cost?

I can't wait for the day that I can just send my ai digital twin to the meeting to talk to all the other ais and just focus on building my resume so I can jump to a better paying job where I don't have to actually do anything because companies don't need to make profit anymore just stock growth.

an American permutation of the CCP’s WeChat app model where the American government has final and singular authority to monitor and surveil all payments, domestic travel and communications of American citizens.

Somewhere in the archives of the Vatican, there are a lot of broken off dicks.

Great, now I'm over here saying "Xtract Z File" in an effeminate German accent to myself.

All the 3.5 inch drive bays yes, but what about the 2.5 inch drive bays?

The only reason to have a nazi flag in a school curriculum, is to learn how to tear it down and rip it in two.
