You are telling the truth, half the truth, and nothing but half the truth.
“A massively profitable company putting thousands of people out of work so that they can boost their stock price which millions of people own (directly or indirectly).”
A dumber variant: the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. You thousand gotta go so us millions can get richer.
My comment should not imply that I endorse this “fuller” point of view.
- danaris 4y agoThe number of people gaining any significant amount of wealth due to the increase in MS's quarterly stock price is minuscule. Just because "millions of people" have, through some indirect means, some small investment in MS doesn't mean there's anywhere near a proportionate gain as compared to the loss being suffered. This is especially true if those people don't sell their MS stock during that period to realize the gain, as there's plenty of chance that the price will fall again later.
