      We don’t have to make everything about profit, if a company can afford to operate and pay their employees a living wage they’re a success. They don’t need to make tons of extra money on top of that

        Surplus can go into research, innovation, growing the business, etc. But I agree, they don’t NEED to do anything, they should be free to run their business however they want.
