Of course it is a problem for consumers if it bankrupts the company. Healthy company is better than no company. And I mean healthy, not greedy.

- Krasnol 3mo agoMaking less doesn't equal to going bankrupt.
- LtdJorge 3mo agoYes, but making just 3% could mean tomorrow you’re in the red.
- slg 3mo agoIt's pretty difficult to go bankrupt turning a profit.
- refurb 3mo agoMaking a thin 3% profit that can go negative when the wind blows
- tommit 3mo agoMaking crazy changes like squeezing out every last dollar out of your existing, loyal customers (looking at any PE firm ever) certainly affects the wind I'd wager.
- refurb 3mo agoAbsolutely, and plenty of companies have made that mistake. But the point is locking up money in a 3% margin business doesn’t impress investors. So you either need to improve the margin with lower costs or higher price (or both). Or bail from the market entirely and put your money in something that makes more money.
- inigyou 3mo agoWhat makes more money? The investment is all in AI because TINA - There Is No Alternative. There's too much money in the system to cover all reasonable investments, so it fills up all reasonable investments and many unreasonable ones too.
- refurb 3mo agoWhile AI may seem like it’s sucking up all investment, the retail trade industry was 2x the entire IT industry investment according to the BEA
