If the universe is alive, then everything is biology.

If the universe is dead, blame Shockwave.

 

[Platypus Prime]

If the universe is half dead, half alive, blame Dr. Frankenstein. Or possibly Walt Disney, depending on who you ask.

The trouble is, there's no such thing as infinite growth. There's a finite amount of expansion possible, there's no way around that.

Just because it doesn't exist doesn't mean companies aren't hunting for it. They've been blowing up their long-term business for years now to get as much immediate growth and profit as possible. It's a damn epidemic at this point, and the bubble will eventually burst, it's just a matter of when.

Preach it. The company I work for buys whole-hog into the "if you're not growing, you're dying" philosophy, so I'm saddled with all kinds of idiotic mandates in pursuit of retail business that simply doesn't exist in my territory. Two of our retail-heavy competitors have closed their doors in our town, the last one several years ago. If there was any more business to be had, our store already had it. But, thats not good enough for the pin-headed corporate morons in charge...

They don’t want to make 5 dollars a year for a hundred years; they want 10 dollars a year NOW and then implode after five.

 

[Princess Viola]

we have had our most profitable year ever!!! anyways we are sadly having to do layoffs (((((((

 

[MrBlud]

Don’t want any of the riches going to the people actually doing the work dontcha know.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

It'll all trickle down one day.

One day.

One day.

One day.

One day.......

since this is the business and tariffs thread for hasbro everyone should be aware that all de minimis exceptions for all countries are ending 29 august here in the USA

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/30/trump-de-minimis-shipping.html

so even if you import a figure from japan yourself you're gonna have to pay tariffs come 29 august no matter where it comes from

This is terrible. We're all boned.
