      That’s late-stage capitalism for you. Making a profit isn’t enough. It has to be more profit than last year or your business is floundering.

        Because if you’re not, you’re making less simply due to inflation.

        You would need to make $108 Billion in profit this year to have the same relative profit as $98 Billion last year.
