Just businessman. You can't be greedy if you're the only employee, you're already keeping everything for yourself. Trying to make more money off the market by increasing output is just "doing more business". Shrewd, sure, but definitely not greedy.
- giraffe_lady 3y agoThis seems like a narrow technical definition that doesn't really align with how people use the word in common day-to-day speech.

- ilyt 3y agoMight not in general but in this case there is nothing greedy with just optimizing the process. Hell, arguably less time for menial stuff more time for art
- hzay 3y agoI think that commenter is quite aware of the popular stereotype of the "greedy businessman", and is countering exactly that.
- Retric 3y agoYou can be greedy in the same way companies can be greedy but providing poor value for the money in ways that aren’t obvious at the point of sale. Ie: Selling counterfeit goods at the full cost of the actual product in question.
- zamnos 3y agoI'd argue the other direction - it's requisite to be greedy in order to be a businessman, otherwise you'd take a vow of poverty, live off charity, and give away your work for free.
