Business saves money: "the goal of a business is to make money"
Employee saves money: "you just don't want to pay all the robber barons all the way in and out of work you lazy piece of shit"
I loathe this definition that has become the norm. The goal of a business used to be to provide a good or service, with profit as the reward for success. The profit being the purpose is what leads to the constant, unnecessary enshitification.
I completely agree and have had this exact argument many times. It is no less infuriating now than it was years ago.
Well overdue pulling "robber baron" back into the lexicon.
How long until we start getting paid in scrip again?
It really annoys me that as a kid I learned about how awful Company Stores were, how lucky we were as a society to be past that history, and now they're back on the table.
