There's a very good quote about profit and sanity or vanity that would be good to expound right now. I can't remember what it was though.Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Turnover is vanity, profit is sanity but cash is king?
Volume is vanity, profit is sanity?
Production is vanity, profit is sanity?
Any one of those, I guess.Comment

Sorry to be boring.Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? - EpicurusComment

Originally posted by Mich the Tester View Post..... but making money continually over a period of many years involves a more developed way of thinking, involving an understanding of technology, the outside world, human relationships, social expectations and norms, political developments and so on and so on.

So I want the profits NOW, not in many years' time.
How do we overcome that?Comment
