What Im realizing is that they still win even if the product gets worse. They don’t care about the product. They care about the short term gains that come from fucking around with their bottom line expenses and then presenting that to shareholders as value gain.
Modern day capitalism rewards nothing of value.

They can be sued and removed if they’re not doing what’s best for the shares.
That’s the biggest problem in society these days as far as I’m concerned
