I was in a tech store a few weeks ago replacing my laptop that broke after 8 years of use. While I waited for staff to grab my new laptop from the back another member of staff noticed my iphone 5 in my hand and offered an upgrade. I told him thanks but it still works and I don't replace things until I actually need to. He looked at me like I'm crazy, looked at his colleague and they tried not to laugh. They were polite in the end but those expressions suggested I'm the weird one.

Bill Maher makes a very good point. Public companies and the stock market feeds into the culture of greed, even though the companies are already very profitable, even if they are past their peak. But investors want something for nothing; they want a big and quick return on their investment. We need a new institution for public companies that better rewards long term growth instead of short term quarterly growth. With public companies, many investors don't see $621 billion in profit, they see a couple of cents increase in their share price, and that is the problem. Public loans, which are basically what bonds are, may be a much better alternative for raising capital than public ownership.

Very interesting Dead Parroting, perhaps there can even be a sub-bubble there in some way. Just how much can firms push hard for short term gains until everything collapses. short term gains/instant gratification is like crack. Actually, I think they are both defined the same way lol. Back to being serious, They are becoming or have become the next sub-prime, the next "mover and shaker" factor. But let me ask you this, let me ask everyone on youtube - We saw the housing bubble, we saw the Great Depression, we can probably see another stock market crash with how things are going... cant we as a nation, as rational people, as fathers/mothers/sons/daughters/etc. admit for once that capitalism like any other political ISM is not perfect? The US has done a fine job in demonizing other forms and putting a halo over capitalism.

Oh yeah, if you've ever worked in retail, you've come across this. The annual expectation is last year, plus 5%. It's ridiculous, cause it's been the standard since at least 2000, when I got out of the Navy. In Navy, the standards are set, and that's it. Did you pass regs this year? Yes? Well, they're going to be pretty much the same next year, and the year after as well. There's just no possible way to maintain infinite growth. If you tried that with your lungs, they would sieze and/or rupture. Businesses have to expand as well as retract for an honestly healthy economy.

This is what I think the main flaw of capitalism is. Capitalism promotes growth and development, even when it is really not necessary.

We can back down on it a little, and start creating safety nets for the poor and disenfranchised.

The big problem with focus on short term growth is that it hinders long term growth and real innovation. Because innovating and creating new technology can take a long time. Computers and the internet didn't just magically appear out of nowhere. It took decades of research into semiconductors before people were able to build the first PC. Heck, when the field of quantum mechanics was in its infancy, people had no idea that it could even have practical applications. If people had only been focused on short term profit, universities, governments, and businesses would have never funded research. And we wouldn't have computers or MRI's or cell phones or GPS, etc.

@MonkeyKong21 7 лет назад

We've got to stop this nonsense at the level of our own everyday behavior; you can't let businesses tell you that you need a bigger car, candy bars to take a break, or which day of the year to buy your wife flowers. If you walk into the grocery store with a list that says to buy one jar of jam and you leave with 5 because there was a 'sale', you're part of the problem. You don't need to have more types of every item to the point that you have to buy/run a second fridge, and, in the era of using computers to do logistics, there's practically no such thing as a 'sale'. Those are fake; it's called high-low pricing and it's a necessary trick because CEO's who try to respect their customers' intelligence by not using high-low pricing will kill sales numbers and get fired (see Ron Johnson's tenure at J.C. Penney)

@philliph8991 7 лет назад

small dividends are fine. thats how healthy business works. Expecting massive returns each year is damaging to the economy and to apple as a whole. They put the company in accelerated/hyper growth and then need the dividends to constantly rise in order to sustain this hyper growth. Eventually, it will fail. these companies rise and fall quickly. If just a few businesses did this, it wouldnt be an issue, but this has become the norm for not only retail, but now mortgage companies and banks. if you cant see the danger in this bubble economy, you are going to be quite surprised when it crumbles.

Stock values must always grow and grow at an acellerating rate. When the value stagnates the investors start to worry. When the value actually drops they go into a blueblind panic and sell as fast as they can while begging the government to save them from themselves. This economy is a get rich quick scheme based of suckering more and more new investors into the fleecing machine. Learn to pay attention and play them at their own game in their own casino. Good luck and be willing to lose a bit to gain a lot.

I always felt the same about cars. Do we need to have a new model every year? How much different are newer models? How many cars are actually recycled? It just seems like a waste. Then what happens to the manufacturing jobs?

@youtight8378 7 лет назад

I think they should release new iPhones every 2 years......focus more on making iOS with the best it can be...I remember when the OS was a BIGGER deal than the actual phone. When Steve Jobs was alive he was actually doing innovative things with the iPhone to make it FEEL special, to make you FEEL that you HAD to have this device...now a days apple is just copying everything Google already thought of making it seem that they were the 1st to think of it.

If Apple doesn't release a new phone every year, they will have to fire half of their engineers. Come on Bill, you release a new show every week, do you really think every week of your show is so original and absolutely needed?

@rfimor 7 лет назад

I can't give you exact math, my bad. What I do know is that iPhone revenue is about 30-50 billion dollars per quarter since 2007. That's 120-200 billion a year. Apple's yearly revenue is 233 billion in 2015. My guess is that if a company lose half or more of its revenue, it might have to lay off some employees. No exact math though, sorry.

@rfimor 7 лет назад

first off you forgot that iPhone is the main source of Apple's profit. Without releasing a new model a significant portion of that 93 billion no longer exists. show us the exact math how much profit is left without a new iPhone then we can do more exact math about if employees need to be laid off.

@Charlesinfinite 7 лет назад

The bigger point he was making was how every quarter we have to grow by unrealistic bounds. Corporate greed is going to kill us all.

@kevindsmith10000 4 года назад

I've always said the b.s. about year over year growth is insane. The only way to achieve growth in this economy is to raise prices which hurts the consumer. The population growth is less than 1% annual so the only way to achieve higher revenue with the law of supply and demand is by raising the cost of goods and services. With wage stagnation and income inequality being what it has been the last 50 plus years the growth model isn't sustainable without the help of the government interceding and propping up a lot of markets.

@PyrrhoVonHyperborea 7 лет назад

Actually: growth *is* the problem. Because it ruins our planet! - humanity and it's capacities are big enough; rather reverse that trend, and re-shrink to a healthy, less cancerous size, so nature has a chance again to replenish itself!

@familyaccount6491 7 лет назад

PyrrhoVonHyperborea there is *no* problem with growth. We need it to advance technologically and become a Type 2 civilization, in order to get closer to answering the ultimate questions. The problem is we are unable to control the rate of growth of the different fields of technology based on our current capitalistic scheme. Not to mention that it only generates output to mostly useless products rather than focussing on world changing ones. We are wasting way too much resources per product created. Essentially, I'm afraid it is too late for this planet. We only have two options now: make the best of our remaining resources to establish an extraterrestrial colony, or watch as humanity perishes from its own excesses.

Apple & Samsung love making us buy new phones that do basically the same things. That's why they made it impossible to replace the shitty exploding devices... oops I mean batteries. Just to ensure our phone shits the bed even if it survives falling in the shitter.

@dscully1808 7 лет назад

Camera men don't choose the shots. They shoot a lot of footage. The director is cutting back and forth between cameras. This is why you will see the behind the scenes...the directors will say "Camera 2 in 3 (seconds)...Camera 1 in 2 (seconds)...Cut to 3" The director is in a room with monitors, which show him what all of the cameras are filming. One camera, for example, might be holding them in a wide shot the entire time.
