The whole thing reminds me of this gem: US employee 'outsourced job to China' https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-21043693 Except dude's outsourcing gimmick is heroic, and the other dude is just doing a 'lil bit of a slumlord cosplay.

if housing wasn't ridiculously expensive in ontario scams like that wouldn't even get off the ground so i have no sympathy for anyone involved except the tenants that probably also got scammed

Imagine how many housing units you could fit on a plot if you didn't have to include "depth"! And if renters can't fit, maybe they just need to lose some weight?

I looked up the 3D house and it was real disappointing, just one of those dumb 3D printed house startup scams that kinda entirely misses the point of why there's a housing shortage Also I just realized, a 3D printed house is pretty much just a pre-manufactured house for the kind of people who wouldn't be caught dead buying things from Wal-Mart so instead they shop at Amazon

Thanatosian posted:They can be paid out to the shareholders as dividends/buybacks, rolled back into the company for expansion/R&D, or kept as reserves in case of a rainy day. so when apple for example posted $60 billion in profits from last year, that means $60 billion NOT going to their employees?

Mr Interweb posted:what are they retained as? It's theoretically retained to be spent on capital improvements. Really it's just invested to make investment profits that aren't taxed at personal rates of the rich shareholders and then paid out to them as dividends.

Mr Interweb posted:maybe i'm not understanding. profits are retained as..profits? do they just sit there? If the company is actually showing a profit on the books then the goes into the shareholder equity section of the financial statement. Those can then be kept as "retained earnings" if they wish to use it. They can also pay it out as a dividend or be used to buyback stock. Which is why increasing wages generally hurts shareholders the most since there is less shareholder equity to tap into.

I'm sure there's tons but I think the one you're specifically thinking of is "every single airline", cuz they were all doing stock buybacks of like $60 bn last year, then this year begging for a bailout of, conveniently, $60 bn.

You and two other people make a thing and sell it for $5. It cost $1 in materials to make and pays $1 in labor each of you. The $1 you have left over is profit. You can either reinvest it on making more things to sell, sit on it like a rainy day fund, or split it up and pay it to everyone, either as more wages or as a dividend to the people who "own" the group (in this case, yourselves). That's the five year old version of it, more or less. But yes, profit is money not being paid to the people who actually do things, and you can make more profit by paying people less.
