"Profit is necessary for the survival and growth of business enterprise. If the business does not make enough profit it will not survive in the growing competitive world. Profit means survival. It enables the business to grow, helps employee motivation, eases negotiations with banks, attracts investors, and gives clients and customers a confidence in business. All that adds up to success. Profit is a yardstick that tests the efficiency of the business firm. The success of the business can be judged by the extent of profit earning capacity." Above snipped from article. Not original. People who have long worked for the government sometimes use the word profit as a bad word. Profit is not the result of greed or of bad motives. Profit is when you have strawberries left over from your field that you didn't need to sell to get groceries. Profit is canning the leftovers or giving them to a neighbor.

Stairway to Heaven has been an "Oldie" since 1985. Jerry Garcia has been dead for over a quarter of a century. The last THREE generations - have probably never heard of the song Seasons in the Sun. |

Pssssst, Gracie, you and I went to press at exactly the same time. My post just now was immediately before yours, and then the page on my lineup turned. We hit submit simultaneously at 5:15.
Like I said, I will be back, but while I am in here, I do want to say that I don’t know why your early post was deleted. You are one who did the “homework assignment” and then posted. I liked it. I hope you did not have to miss cheerleading practice to do it. (By the way, I am not being snarky, much. Gracie really was a high school cheerleader. She told us about it years ago and I remembered. I was not a cheerleader. I dance like Elaine on Seinfeld. Even though there was no Elaine back then, I knew better than to go out for cheerleading.) Boomer |

I was a high school cheerleader and I am clumsy as a cow on a crutch. I am pretty sure I was picked by the committee of teachers for other reasons...such as my mom died when I was born and I was a serious student. I don't know.

My basic point actually NEVER involved PROFITS. If one goes back and looks at my Y-axis, it was GNP GROWTH in one example and QUALITY of LIFE in the 2nd example (I hope no one would dispute quality of Life). Growth and Profits are not synonymous. You can have one without the other. I would hope that other posters re-read my offering. Thank you. |

I am just trying to add to an earlier post (by JIMJAMUSER I think). “With few exceptions, big businesses are having a very different year from most of the country. Between April and September, one of the most tumultuous economic stretches in modern history, 45 of the 50 most valuable publicly traded U.S. companies turned a profit, a Washington Post analysis found.” “Despite their success, at least 27 of the 50 largest firms held layoffs this year, collectively cutting more than 100,000 workers, The Post found.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/graph...virus-layoffs/ Point is as we make the rich richer and the difference between “rich” and “poor” greater, are we serving the country’s good ? Never feel guilty about making a profit and do all you can to make, but let’s not forget about our country. |

I avoided this discussion item, but after reading (and skimming) the comments I think all of my comments were already made. In
my posts, I have tried to avoid making negative comments, although I do remember a few that were misinterpreted. As many of you are aware, I read this site to help people, and not debate, so today, 3 clocks fixed, 1 pinball machine, 1 new friend made, and I figured why some outside lights were failing, a good day. I will continue to look the site over for people needing help. I have learned that the newer houses have some significant differences and some of my "knowledge" is not applicable, so I have been gaining knowledge also. I tend to stop reading a thread as soon as I see the negative comments start, and have gone to the point of blocking some people based on comments made. I agree that it would be real nice if some of the comments would be toned down. Anyway just my thoughts, VT.
