I think I might hate capitalism. I know this is ‘unamerican’ and all. But the constant desire to increase next quarters profits doesn’t seem to ever get us anywhere. Strive to make a better product and money will follow. Strive to to make more money and you end up with the current financial situation and screwing over the people that helped your company stock pile cash. Apparently the same happens at breweries, too. It sounds like Budweiser might take a few steps down (if that is possible) thanks to the InBev buyout.
I think that the goal should of any company should strive to make the best X or do X better than all others. Not do X for 6 cents less than the other guy. But what do I know? I’m probably just drunk.
