The point of companies is to provide value to customers, not employ employees. We are all customers. We all benefit from better services and lower prices. Anything that degrades either of those ambitions should not be celebrated.

Pretty much all companies are created in order to make the owner(s) money.

You cannot make money if there is no one to spend money. Money is meant to move.

Money's just a means to an end, to secure resources for the owner. In a money-less society, jeff bezos would be just as happy if his customers paid him in rocket parts instead.

[iszomer]

That would be a quality control nightmare on his part to vet alone. And what's to say people still wouldn't "skim off the top" with or without money in society?

[philipallstar]

This is too vague. They're to make the owner(s) money by voluntary exchange of value with customers. They're not feudalism where the lord makes money off the serfs, who have no choice. It's not monarchy where..it's basically the same. It's not socialism, where the bureaucracy is enriched by the people it pretends to be a fair parent-surrogate to. It's just free interchange of value. And you can provide more value if your costs are lower.

Really? There's probably a dozen or so well written books in the past year or two calling our current system neo-feudalism.

[philipallstar]

Drumming up support for a concept isn't evidence of very much, I'd say.

Lol not everything is a coordinated effort to discount your opinion
