This tells me everything I need to know.
Material things are a means to an end and for making a great life for my future generations.
If you think anyone is envious if you, you are more out of touch than I thought.
You didn’t answer a single question though, so deflect much? Yeah you are a complete loser in life and that’s why you hold the views you do. I’ve never seen anyone successful hold such views.
So not working for someone else is high on the list of things to strive for. Is it not?
And what views would they be? Care to expound?
Is making people suffer to get those profits okay in your opinion?
People suffer due to their own life choices most of the time.
Running a business does not have the goal of making people suffer, but if it happens that is unfortunate. My goal in running any of my business is profit and being able to pay my employees well while continuing to provide a high quality product / service.
I don’t work for free or take on large responsibilities without compensation. So, yes it is acceptable if people suffer to keep my business afloat.
We don’t need to hash your views here you’ve made them pretty clear amidst many threads.
Then you would have an awful business model. And your choice to let people suffer for profit is immoral. What does this say about you? Is this something you’d teach your children or admit to partaking in if it means keeping your business afloat?
Yes, my duty is to my employees and business. My goal isn’t to make anyone suffer, but I’ll do what I have to to succeed.
Immoral to what standard?
Business is cutthroat like life. The strong survive and thrive. You make it sound like business owners are out there thinking of way to make life worse for people lol. As a business owner I can tell you that isn’t the case.
Wow, you’d certainly be a candidate for Christ’s 13th disciple, back in the biblical days.
Please let me make a stab at interpreting @castoli when he says “let people suffer.” I believe, or should say hope, he means that you knowingly make a business decision to benefit you or your business after you have studied the consequences of your business decision and realize that many people will suffer to keep your business operating.
In actuality, you probably are making a business decision to better your business and have done no research on how it might impact other people. Clearly aiming to make other people suffer is a poor model for staying in business.
He might not consider the suffering that could happen to your employees and customers if you went out of business. But it is probably okay for them to suffer as long as the big mean business owner suffers too. A total lack of system thinking.
Super cool story bro. Religion has zero influence on me whatsoever.
You’ve bested me again. I concede.
They aim to make money no matter if they make others suffer or help to destroy the environment. Profit mania is the name of the game. Consequences DO NOT matter, only profit does. It’s always more, more and more.
And no one can do it better? So another business would not come about and potentially hire those folks.
Translation: It is okay to make others suffer for business.
Neither does morality.
As usual. Nothing to say.
What if the replacement business opens in another town hundreds of miles away? What if that business that couldn’t survive was the life blood of a small town, where not only are the employees out of work, but so is a vast number of supporting businesses in that town that need that business to exist. Clearly a well thought out response by @castoli. Check out that book by Peter Senge.
Define harm.
Define morality.
This ought to be a really good laugh.
Doing good to ALL human beings.
Here is an example. You are struck with an illness, cannot afford to see a doctor or get the medicine and cannot leave the country to get a treatment illegal in the U.S… Has harm not been done?
You keep going back to healthcare and pharma, which we aren’t talking about.
Explain harm outside of healthcare.
This is the most vague feel good emotional bullshit I’ve ever heard.
And what if a major business moves to a different country for cheaper labor? Do they do it out of mere survival or so that those in the upper echelons of the company can make even more? And what happens to the lives of those who no longer have a job because of the greed of those at the top? What about the tax base of the city in which said corporation used to be located in? And a lot of these companies get subsidies from the government. So socialism for the rich and dog eat dog capitalism for everyone else. Democratize the enterprise.
