So if I understand correctly, you’re arguing that making a product worse is good because it makes it easier for competition to beat it? I mean, I guess, but it still means the product that got worse got worse, and didn’t get better.

And to your point, Google and Meta are indeed extraordinary businesses. That’s why everyone wants/wanted to be Google or Meta. Even being somewhere in the ballpark of a Google or a Meta is incredible.

You do realize the entirety of human existence people have “worked for their salary” where “worked for their salary” basically means putting food on the table and spending all day and 7 days a week doing so? It’s only in the last few decade

Right, but if as an independent logistics company you cannot beat Amazon for a contract with a company which has basically defined itself in opposition to Amazon, is there even a reason to exist as a company?

How bad a company do you have to be that you filled it with 20% non working bums. Even FAANG with the 100s of thousands they recruit aren’t so awful at recruiting.

The major red flag to me appears to be the fact that they couldn’t beat Amazon to a logistics contract with Shopify. It seems a lot of these actions followed that failure.

You have to be upper caste to not have to think about caste. That being said, I’ve seen very little evidence of this as well. Which makes it even more perplexing why groups would oppose the addition of caste among the list of factors on whi
