in Fight Club the guy is like "when one of our cars has a defect that kills people horrifically, we only do a recall if it's cheaper than dealing with the lawsuits" which was dystopian and everything but now i feel like he could go "we just never do a recall no matter what" and you'd be like "sure"

It no longer matters if it's cheaper not to do layoffs, or you stand to quadruple your money doing some cool thing...if it's cruel they do it. it's strictly about immediate-term wealth transfer. They will sacrifice a billion dollars next week if it means fucking an extra million out of you right now

"long term it costs us more to be evil but short term as in literally this quarter number continue to go up so we will be evil" yes i expect so

Not to hold water for them but if they don't the shareholders will immediately flee and sink the company, which should tell you how well these companies are being run.
