Real capitalism is where Profit is the applause that your customers give you for having served them well - Dave Ramsey

[@Web3Future333]

No, you extract profit from people because you make them dependent on your products and gauge their eyes out with exorbitant prices and “cost of life”. People cant go without food, medicines and shelter (rent) . Its not an applause, its extortion, we have no other choice as consumers than to subject and get abused.

[@clapcast]

[@jaesall3519]

​@@SpoonHurler if it ain't broke Don't fix it. they have no debt so the profit is thru the roof why would they change it

[@SpoonHurler]

@@jaesall3519 why do people buy new cars? Times change, safety standards change and in this case viewing habits change. Ramsey's goal isn't to make money hand over fist, it's to help as many people as possible and the profit is a byproduct. If your flagship product is designed from people over 40, I'd question if it doing what you want it do. I do think they've done a great job retrofitting into an old model honestly. Just things like this show up... it's similar to the old 22 minute show for tv breaking some scripts compared to this streaming era allowing more freedom

[@barnabusdoyle4930]

The reason the US stock market is doing better than other markets is not that we do capitalism better, it’s the petro-dollar and the dollar as the world reserve currency. With a world that trades with dollars, countries need vast supplies of those dollars. So where do they store those extra dollars? Our stock market or other US based assets. This is why de-dollarization is such a bad thing. As money moves out of our markets, the value of your investments in those markets also drops like a rock.

[@kyungshim6483]

I think you got your causality reversed.

[@MattNjoro]

I think you guys do global product exposure very well, you can’t discount that as a reason why your companies are good enough to be invested in

[@Judep4237]

The reason the market is doing well is companies buying back their own shares to make themselves seem healthier than they really are. Instead of using profits to increase wages they use them to buy back shares. The stock market no longer reflects the real world

[@saeedhossain6099]

and because of the Petro dollar, moving the dollar off the gold standard was a possibility, monetary policy became a paper trading game, and decoupled financialized trading from economic trading, driving asset bubbles.

[@jusplay7309]

Its also not fair to the rest of the world to abuse that power to print and import value while exporting inflation

[@AmanExplores]

[@andiclemenza6476]

Oh my! I am so happy to see Vivek in the show! What a surprise

[@heatherharder1368]

I was a foster parent for four years and the problem is much greater than just finding more homes. The system is broken! This system is also broken and greed driven. Oh if my finger could type faster to provide you a list of just some of the problems I experienced. Dig deeper. We need more than just more foster homes.

[@SpoonHurler]

I was a foster kid and I now volunteer/ mentor and can completely agree the whole system is broken. Good families cannot get kids; while predators lie, cheat and steal to make a profit on the tears of children in need.

[@ryanp2182]

The biggest issue from my experience is that despite loads of resources for the kids and the bio parents there are almost zero resources for the actual foster parent. You want more good homes start treating the foster parents better and provide them with the resources they need not just money

Only thing i disagree with is companies will pay you if they dont want you to leave. The person the longest in a department is typically the least paid. Changing organizations every 5 years or so sields the highest salaries for an particular employee

[@thisoldbelair]

Its true. Loyalty isn’t paid. I learned this last year when i moved from my first company in my career field to my second and almost doubled my salary doing basically the same job.

[@FancyRPGCanada]

Which is unfortunate, a good corporation should see the value of a good employee and pay them as such

Well he did say "be so valuable and indispensable" which has nothing to do with loyalty and tenure at a company. It's easy to get too comfortable and risk averse over time and stop bringing new value.

[@jkneeland89]

Depends on who you work for. I worked at my previous employer for 6 years, in that time my pay increased by about 18%, which is essentially a cost of living increase each year. I have worked at my current employer for a little over 6 1/2 years now and my pay has increased by over 80%. It's unfortunate that most employers don't treat good employees this way.

[@WarPoet-In-Training]

I love Vivek, and im beginning to appreciate more and more Ramsey's advice and the way he orders himself financially. That being said, i feel there is a need for nuance concerning what they talked about in the last minute and a half or so. Making yourself invaluable to a company via volunteering only works with companies whose perspective is down to earth enough to have it's individual members in focus. It doesn't work with corporations or massive businesses, who, arguably, would not be accepting of voluntary work anyway. So this is not a message to people who may think that they need to volunteer themselves at a fast food chain or a massive corporation like walmart. Making yourself valuable to a company only works with companies who are capable of seeing your value. Otherwise you will just be chewed up and spit out and treated like a number.

Truth is, a 10% increase in sales per year to please shareholders on a publicly traded platform is unustainable. It is destined to collapse. That's a fact. Even a 1 billion profit year is considered a loss if it turns out to be a "stable" year since they did not hit their mark. Then said company cuts salary, jobs, quality and begins to liquidate assets.
