Profit can be distorted based on how much employees are being paid.
They’re a “non-profit,” but their CEO makes millions of dollars per year. I’d say that’s a profit.
Believing otherwise is just falling for rhetoric that exists to take advantage of our naivete so people richer than us can be even richer.
Many of you will disagree with this (because you’re greedy consumerists), but their employees also typically don’t need to be paid nearly as much as they are. Their employees are also working to maximize profit, albeit from a different, less-effective angle.
Money brings out the worst in people. I don’t really value the input of people going to bat for the businessmen taking their money. Too often I see useful idiots proud to be ripped off and getting angry whenever someone points it out. It’s really the norm at this point, which is sad.
Their revenue is fine. They just waste it on unnecessary bullshit.
They’re a business, after all. They don’t care about their products. They care about doing the least amount of work while making the most amount of money.
It’s not about keeping the lights on. It’s about living as luxurious a life as possible.
I saw this and was going to say “I kinda wanna say this is good, but I’m skeptical of Niger’s government to share the wealth with its people etc etc.” and then I see “Niger’s military government” in the preview.
I’m gonna be real with you: none of the instruments are easy in the way that you describe.
The easiest instrument for you to be able to play would honestly be the piano. it is the easiest instrument to play by design, and people don’t even realize it. It really only gets hard when you try playing separate parts with both hands, which isn’t a requirement.
You’re literally hitting buttons, which we do elsewhere in life all the time. Heck, I’m doing it right now!
Fun fact: The Native Americans had no concept of land ownership. It’s how “Squatter’s Rights” was used to justify European occupation of native lands.
To the natives, land was meant to be used, not owned. For Europeans, they would look at a section of land and say “Who owns this? Nobody? Well, I guess it’s mine now.”
Being raised in a world dominated by European ideals, it’s easy to disregard how those ideals may have been challenged and if we really received the best outcome.
