But still a profit. Just not as much of profit as last year.
We are making money, but not as much money as I want. SMITHERS! Fire people randomly until I feel better about only making a few billion, instead of a hundred billion.
The entire economy is about companies making higher and higher profits, and if they don’t, economists worry it’s a stagnation. Lol. We really are quite fucked.
I agree that the hamster wheel of infinitely increasing profits is bad. But even in a better world where companies weren’t expected to report record profits every single quarter, an 80% drop would still be rather alarming.
