8. That is EXACTLY what is going on

Eating the seed corn for quarterly results. It's stupid, it's unmitigated greed, and it's not only reducing profits for themselves right now, it's ensuring that there are no profits in the future, for anyone.

These "Masters of the Universe" actually think they cause things to happen. All they are doing is sucking blood from the 99%, and calling it profit. Profiteering is more like it, or piracy. Suck the blood out of the 99%, leave the parents and their children starved, sick and uneducated, and there will be no future.

If you are into an Apocalypse, it might make sense. Otherwise, it's rank stupidity.
