Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Yeah, the facts aren't adding up here. Why wouldn't Aardman buy them up if they were the only supplier and successful?

Just because you are a big buyer of product X, it does not necessarily mean you are the best-suited person to run a company producing it.

Sp you're telling me that eating McDonald's every day doesn't make me qualified to he the CEO of McDonalds? I wish someone would have told me this earlier.

No, you are what you eat.

Eat the rich.

I was wondering.

If we were to kill Bezos and cut him into 8 billion pieces and feed it to the entire population of Earth.

Could we make everyone rich?

Or does it take a specific threshold of cannibalism to make someone into what they eat?

Sounds like it was the one nugget you really could have used

[–] CmdrShepard@lemmy.one 2 points 11 months ago

I appreciate you.

Just because you own it doesn't mean you have to run it. Thats what CEOs are for. They often don't own the company they run.
