I really wish we could redefine what success for a business looks like under capitalism.
If your company employs X amount of people and still makes a profit, that is the success. Employing people is the success! Cutting that staff to make a few more pennies than last year is the failure.

If I literally spent ALL of my free time playing video games, I still would not have nearly enough time to play everything that I’d like to play
