no_one @PHNX.QWEST.NET	reply to fAcEtIOUs Re: Profits are bad; losses are good socialist philosophy said by fAcEtIOUs: Most usage-oriented plans have less to do with network capacity, and more to do with placating hungry investors, for whom ridiculous profits are never enough if there isn't staggering quarter-over-quarter improvements. The oft repeated, but never proved, suppositions of those whose socialist beliefs and anti-corporate philosophies see the bogeyman behind any action not resulting in something for free for the masses. God forbid anyone make a profit on their invested savings. It is not the profits. For some reason businesses think they should always grow and make even more. Even those that have solid profits seem to think they should make more and quickly. That thinking is just to me odd. Once some point is reached the trick should be to replace any outdated revenue streams with new streams to stay where you are and keep bringing in nice solid profits. Sort of like at my last job. Every year workers should be this much faster. Uh? this work has been going on many many years. A ten percent faster worker every year each and every year. Not physically possible. Same with 10 percent more profits etc. each and every year. Some year will disappoint you. Like said the trick should be to replace declining revenue streams with new healthy ones. Thus bring in a nice consistent profit. No everyone does not want just profit they want those numbers always increasing. Charge more for something that has been there done that some new startup will eventually get you.
