A company that survives long enough eventually gets turned to the dark $ide. Greedy asshats will always ruin a good thing for their own benefit

Any company that becomes publicly traded gets turned to the dark side. That's the factor that does it because they have a legal requirement to do everything they can to maximize profits.

Trying to sustain perpetual growth will always lead to companies fucking over their customers and employees.

While I feel this is true there are so few privately owned companies that prove this as fact. Holds breath that steam never fucks over its customers

That's likely in part due to the fact that they'd really like to he publicly traded.
