Not enough, you need to sell the hardware + subscription, otherwise, MBAs all around the world are sad.
You don't want that do you?
I honestly think that all the marxist propaganda — which tells people that the most successful only get there by treating people poorly — creates an unconscious assumption that the only way to get profit is by mistreating people.
I think it’s a self-fulfilling prophecy when we convince people that capitalism is evil.
I assume you are arguing in good faith.
Not sure what you are trying to convey here, but capitalism as it is now is an extreme, and communism the other.
There is a whole spectrum inbetween. But what we know for sure is that the "elite" treat the people poorly. And the worker, producer of value, get shafted all around.
There is a reason that multi billionaires are buying media outlets, and it's not for the good of the society.
Just look at all the mega corps when there is a sniff of unionization, they hire union-breaker firms and start their PR how unions are evil.
And its not marxist propaganda as you call it since we have numerous example of how evil C-suites are and don't give a fuck.
They are not arguing in good faith.
I assume you are arguing dishonestly, or are somehow insulated from the world.
No billionaire got where they were without exploiting the lives of others, and crony capitalism rewards the cheaters.
This isn't a unconscious assumption, it is a clear and aware view of how our economy works.
Any company that makes money can make slightly more by abusing and taking advantage of their customers, so most do.
This is why it is rare and social-media worthy when a company actually treats their customers with respect.
Decades ago the behaviors of modern corporations would look psychopathic.
This is what happens when SCOTUS rules in favor of corporations over citizens for 40 years.
