      I know. Like why can’t “we have enough revenue to operate the business” be good enough?

      It’s either go big and go broke for these clowns.

      Because of greed. Not even just the founders, they could even be benevolent, but someone from the competition can just get greedy and attempt a buyout or try to cripple you by becoming bigger and constantly harassing your company. We have to bring back antitrust punishments and ban megamergers that have been running rampant.

      Yeah, I don’t want to see humanity keep on going like this. The profit incentive in some ways can increase the speed at which something develops, but it feels like we’re outgrowing it now that we have so many good communication/collaboration tools.

      The profit squeeze on everything feels like it does more harm than good.
