LMGTFY: A business is an organization that provides products and services to others for profit. The organization seeks to sell its wares at a sufficient profit to pay its employees and other operational expenses to earn a profit for its efforts. Businesses can be organized as separate legal entities (corporations), Limited Liability Corporations, and sole proprietorships, among others. Businesses differ dramatically in an effort to service their customer base efficiently. But regardless of type or size, business must make a profit to survive in the long run. This dictates the margins they must place on their goods and services.

if you shut the world down for 3 years to save grandma, you can expect to pay the price. The disruption to the supply chain was one thing, the profiteering that occurred was another. The consumer price index graph now looks like the ski jump at the olympics with us standing at the wrong end. That graph also exactly matches the net worth increase of the worlds richest. and market cap of the largest businesses. They didnt just get richer through this, they invented a new level of rich.

Even in the medieval era the average peasant who couldnt read or write knew something was up when he was running out of goods and food but the local baron was getting fatter and wearing more gold trim clothes. With all our education and access to information in the modern era we still cant make the connection.

Correct. Amazon went into overdrive and it saved grandma. I'm sure the retarded Andrews clapping seal on here will rest comfortable that the rest of Australia was saved.
