You are the one that taking liberties with interpretation. The exact quote thaumasiotes argued against was "Nothing will happen to the business if the owners don't get any dividends." My italics. So, they was clearly not ta

That the two things that the comment I answered too claimed are wrong: 1. Not paying dividends is communistic. Few people would accuse Jeff Bezos of being a communist. 2. Bad things will happen if no dividends are paid. No, nothing bad has

Amazon has never paid any dividends. Further, you are just plain wrong about both of your points. At least as general statements. 1. Of course there are some businesses that are created to be able to pay the owners of the capital dividends

Amazon has never paid any dividends. I don't think anything more needs to be said.

Of course it would. About 43000 people die in car accidents in the US every year. That is apparently considered acceptable in a population of 332 million people. If the population was one million people, what would most likely be considered

Removing any other expense will be detrimental to the business, that is, make it work less well. Nothing will happen to the business if the owners don't get any dividends.

And how big part of the population is that? I can’t say if that is a big or a small number without knowing the total population.

I can’t really tell if that is a very high number or not without knowing the population of birds.

I know that cats eat a lot of birds, but I wonder how often cats really is the limiting factor of the population. Other things like scarcity of food or nesting places might often be more important.

Nowadays there are cat doors with micro chip readers to make sure that only your cat can get in.

Uhm? I thought my salary was my reward for doing my job. Am I supposed to expect something else than that? And in my world, it seems rather childish to only do what you should if you are promised a treat afterwards. (And I certainly expect

But those are different, because it’s the same stuff over and over again.

The reason we help other people is not because it gives us warm fuzzy feelings. It is because it make the world a better place to live in, not only for the people you help, but also for yourself. Airbnb should understand this. If no one dar

We have been using it in Sweden as long as I can remember.

If we for a second disregard the fact that it’s a random graph without any context, even that graph shows changes in thousands of years, not like now when the temperature changes happens within decades.

The problem now is that the change is some orders of magnitude faster than they used to be.

No, it’s not that they don’t think they can do it, it’s that one of the foundations of modern economics is specialisation. I know I can repair my car myself, and even think it would be kind of fun. But the mechanic in his shop already know

They count on people not having the energy to push through to get their money, but in my experience they pay as soon as they realise you know your rights and is dedicated enough. But it’s the main reason I never fly Lufthansa any more when

All airlines starting or landing in Germany have to follow those laws. It’s inconsequential whether they are directly codified in German law or not. It’s correct that they aren’t without conditions, but I don’t think anyone think they shoul

No, but mathematicians don’t come up a new notation every three months that they promise will revolutionise the field.

Why would that be? Isn't it the energy spent tearing your body apart that is relevant?

I guess you aren't in Europe currently. Right now I'm paying ¢71 per kWh. So that plasma TV would easily cost tens of $ every month.

A corollary to that is to not overdo it, even if you have an enjoyable time while you do it. You shouldn't be too tired or sore when it's time for the next training session.

Maybe some do, but I don't think that is the root of the problem. A lot of people would be happy to buy a more expensive product if they knew they would get a better product. But we don't know that. A lot of more expensive brands
