      Seriously, people need to keep this in their mind at all times. Every single publicly traded company in the world would happily throw a bus full of children into a volcano if it got them a fraction of a point in next quarter’s numbers.

        Yet people still defend the system that enables these greedy fucks, as if greedy fucks don’t exist and corporations will toootally work in a logical manner…

        Peoples’ hubris toward the evils of their neighbors will be the death of humanity. Someone who fires a bunch of people to save money isn’t a “boss making hard decisions” They’re an asshole throwing people away to protect profit.
