    Maybe it’s ok that if you’re the most valuable company in the entire world that you don’t continue growing forever?

      Now that would set a bad precedent. Smaller companies would see that and think that they don’t have to lay off half of their staff every few years to keep line going 📈

      Hard agree. I love Apple to death but the whole idea that a company must be more and more profitable every quarter/year needs to go. There are simply too many other important factors that can’t be ignored (climate, quality, human rights, etc).

        In a finite world the system of capitalism demands unlimited growth.
