For anyone wondering: $14.2 million of that is profit.

Seems to me like they're doing just fine.

I have no idea what their numbers usually are, so idk if that's good

From the article it was a 1% drop YoY so basically nothing

Stagnation is death. 1% drop isn't a good sign for Pdox.

Capitalism is bad not because "grow or die" is ridiculous, it's bad because it's true.

[–] Godric -3 points 7 months ago

Wowzers! You're as clever as you are original, any other 'capitalizm bad' slick slogans we morons dissatisfied with the capitalist system can slap on a shirt and buy en mass???

Pdox is a corporation under a capitalist system. What generally happens to corporations that don't "go up" under capitalism???

Pls lmk, surely idk how stagnant companies fare in a system that endlessly prioritizes growth to the detriment of sustainability!9

I mean, from this information we know they're profitable at least.

No, you don't understand. The only acceptable amount of money is all of it. If you are making less than all of the money, then it can never be enough and your daddy will never love you.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

financially yeah

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

So they're going to pay their employees more?
