People who tie up profit with morals utterly baffle me. Whether it's "profit is evil" or "profit is morally good", it's all nonsensical. It's just fucking money. Are your actions helping people or hurting them?
- guylhem 14y agoProfit is a synonym for efficient. I couldn't care less about the money part. Yet where there are no profits, efficiency is also generally lacking. (and don't mention free software, because the profits are just different - just not directly financial, but bankable - like reputation, experience, passion - people write free software for good selfish reason, "to scratch their own itch")
- josephlord 14y agoDoesn't deserve a down vote but I profoundly disagree. Profit can also mean externalising costs playing dirty and competing unfairly. There is nothing wrong with profit, it is amoral not immoral and can be obtained and used ethically or unethically.
