#this FOR PROFIT COMPANY

[silverjirachi]

look i get most rehearsals in my life have not been paid, but when this is supposed to be a paid job and i’ve gotten $20 for an hour long rehearsal in the past, with this same company, $20 for a three hour rehearsal is just insulting.

I just want to keep my job even though I don't know how to make memes. Buy our coffee. We've got holiday gifts for the coffee lover in your life.

Awesome Coffee is different because 1. we source our beans directly from small farmers collectives, 2. it's better and fresher than grocery store coffee, and 3. ALL of our profit goes to fight maternal and child mortality in impoverished communities, whereas almost all other coffee makes rich people richer, which is the dumbest thing that can be done with coffee (or other forms of wealth).

"why is there no design in anything anymore" there aren't designers anymore. like that is the answer. there are maybe 3 people on the planet still employed in graphic design and they are paid less than half of what their time is worth

hey webtoon artists, did you hear that

your work is cheap to produce

everything you make is cheap and your labor is cheap and that makes it very profitable for companies like webtoons

it's as easy and cheap as just owning a tablet

i really forgot how much pushback tony got for saying that he didn't want to make weapons anymore. like not just "tony that's a bad call financially for the company" but like. ridiculing the idea, telling him he's not thinking straight. he's got three people in his life and two of them are saying this and the other one is his PA

every single I have to interact with unitedhealthcare i end up googling stuff like "how to file a human rights complaint" or "how to report crimes against humanity"

One of my favorite dcmk headcanons is that Kaito owns his own merch. Not from big companies but like,, from his fans. You bet he has a plushie, custom cards and keychains of himself

I remember when I was not happy about completed GMMTV shows being removed from YouTube and transferred over to Viki. Because I don't like when things we get for free get moved behind a paywall. But people were okay with it because it meant more money for GMMTV, a company that made about 250 million dollar profit last year, to produce more shows and a list of other solid reasons.

And now more of GMMTV's shows are being released only on WeTV, IQIYI, Netflix, and Gagaoolala for international viewers instead of for free on YouTube.

This has been a lesson in Capitalism 101.

Now let me go watch this Peaceful Property finale for free on YouTube with ads and product placements which generate revenue.

I'm DESPERATE to know what Louis' business connections think of him, because it's such a funny detail to have Businessman as a part of his personality vs just an occupation that he's good at. He likes Business! He wants to be the first Vampire Capitalist (feel like that ship has sailed, but it's good to have dreams)!

Does he go to things personally? Are all the rich widows at art auctions pissed off cause he won't share the name of his plastic surgeon? Are people intimidated by him for Business reasons or because he has scary vampire vibes?

WHAT SORT OF AN INVESTOR IS HE???? AND DID HE EVER LEARN HOW TO FLY A PLANE???????

Awesome Coffee is just better. Good Store has raised over $7,500,000 to fight maternal and child mortality, and we pay a premium to our farmers to get the best beans and support efforts to reverse deforestation. Plus no billionaires get richer.

insurance makes sense on a conceptual level but in reality insurance companies turn decently huge profits by a) relying on things not happening, which they mostly don't b) ensuring things mostly don't happen by exluding anything that might make "things happening" more likely and stacking it in their favour and then c) finding any excuse and loophole possible to not cover you if anything ever does happen

like. insurance would be good if it wasn't managed by insurance companies
