 Here is my perspective on profit explained simple like super simple Okay, so if a company is doing good business it makes profit and this is all the money after costs like rent Investments and salary of everyone including the boss itself This money is extra Profit is bonus money But whatever it's selling things inside a company can always be better They can make their products better source better sustainable materials Try to use less energy in the process reduce their carbon footprint improve health care give people a fresh orange juice at lunch Just because it's nice Okay, yeah, um, they could produce more locally pay higher salary to everyone that's involved to make it just to name a few However doing all these things is extra. It will cost them money and If they don't improve they have more profit So there's always that option. Do you improve things or do you cash it? So having a huge amount of profit tells a lot about a company It means they're keeping the money for the few on top instead of everyone involved Probably to buy more hats. They choose their self-interest over all the others So next time you see a company with a lot of profit Think about all the things they could have improved with that money, but chose not to do
