Replying to Avatar Currency of Distrust

I hate that most businesses today aren’t just “here’s my product, I sell it for $x, which allows me to reliably turn a profit”. The financial engineering, VC fundraising, metrics manipulation based economy is gross.

The amount of pure greed is astounding. No one can be satisfied with making a healthy salary while treating employees well and not laying them off at the first sign of trouble.

Fuck, I can’t wait until I’m in a position to work for myself.

Putting a ceiling on profit margins would likely be harmful for markets

I’m not saying to put a ceiling. I’m saying stop trying to hyper scale every business to billions of dollars, especially via VC funding. I dislike that there aren’t more companies like 37Signals who just want to build good stuff and charge real prices for it and earn a healthy profit.
