      It is almost like it is a for profit company or something

      It isn’t a charity. The goal is to bring in money for the investors, nothing else.

          Sure it will. Boeing, the entire O&G sector and blackrock have all suddenly filed bankruptcy.

            Let’s look at the stock history: oh yeah boeing hasn’t suffered financially at all. let’s see, 2019: peaks at $422… today $221

            now, I’m not gonna tell you that’s fallen far enough to make up for the shittery, but it’s hardly doing their business good.

            but thanks for playing!

              Oh you mean when they did all of their share buy backs and then subsequently diluted by 50%

              What other games you got? I’m enjoying playing

                haha how about a quick round of hide and go fuck yourself while we’re at it.

                positing that their incompetency hasn’t hurt the company at all is simply silly.

            In a capitalist system, that is what they are supposed to do. They are even compelled by law to maximise their return to investors. You are attacking them for stating a fact, believing that by merely uttering the fact, they are endorsing it.
