Couplqnd@lemmy.worldtoAsklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why is everything in consumer / American life so fucking shitty now - and companies literally just say 'oh bc profit margins' and we're now expected to swallow that and sympathize?

1 year agoCan we stop with the myth that “corporations/board members have a fiduciary duty to share holders for maximum profit”
It’s not true and never has been! It’s just some bullshit that was said in the 80s that sounds good but has no basis in reality
What? Everything you just said has nothing to do with fiduciary duty.
The reason the board acts that way is because of this myth. Also many companies have nothing to do with APRU. The stock market is not just Tech stocks and crypto.
