Why? That was never claimed. The claim was that businesses can have other reasons for existing in addition to making money. Furthermore, those other reasons can be a higher priority for a particular business.
- WalterBright 11mo agoYou didn't write "in addition" in what I responded to.
- stavros 11mo ago> Businesses exist to make money This implies that this is the primary reason businesses exist. Or did you mean "that's just one reason, it might even be very low on the list of reasons, but it is one"? Because, if you meant that, I don't know why we're arguing about meaningless pedantry and conversational sleight of hand.
