I have no beef tbh. But pretending the end goal of a company/business isn't a profit is just playing with words

Not for the company/business necessarily.

That you and shaun are dimwits.

Maybe so - maybe not.
But you sure ain't no financial genius.

 

[Pegasus]

It would seem that you are "to clever" to understand that in the end, it's all about making (earning) money.

Yes, and I have provided plenty of evidence to back up what I am saying. Evidence you have not made an attempt at debunking. I am happy to be corrected when you have something.

 

[Ponderer]

No, it doesn't.

Yes it does.
To argue otherwise is just plain stupid.

I completely agree with below. Profit (not net) is definitely the end goal but who it is for has changed.

Not for the company/business necessarily.

But there is a financial benefit arising to someone somewhere along the line. What do we call a financial benefit again?

@Pegasus will be along shortly to call out your high school accounting

Nope, arguing that all companies have to make profit is stupid.

You're shifting the argument. Net profit for a company is net profit for a company. They're separate legal entities.

He said "below" that is where Quovadis is in his post.

You would be "above" the section he does not agree with.

Oh so now you're trying to profit from what @surface said

Someone {you know who} is flexing, failing, continuous to flex, and continues to fail.

There wasn't an argument. A profit remains a profit no matter what you want to call it.

He will be silly if he does that as I don't remember anything that I did in school. If I did, why would I be on mybb.

If you've shifted from the reasoning of net profit/sustainability metric you can make any position you like.

 

[ShaunSA]

If you've shifted from the initial position of net profit/sustainability metric you can make any position you like.

I have lots of preferential positions... that was not one of them

 

[Pegasus]

Yes, I get that you don't understand the differences between gross profit, net profit, profit before tax, top line, bottom line etc.

But that doesn't stop you from arguing with people who do know.

 

[ForceFate]

I'm not afraid of them - just sick of them.

Are you that far to the right, that everything is on your left?

 

[Ponderer]

/* snaps finger next to tilted head trying to remember what it's called */
Oh yes, I remember now - isn't it otherwise known as money?

 

[ShaunSA]

You know that fine line between love and hate? It's the same line that divides the far right and the far left
