The consumer space just isn't able to pay what companies are paying and so in the words of Don Draper - 'I don't think about you at all' What is a bit of a dick move is their consumer division paying lip service and pretending like they matter to the company at all. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] bizarroland@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 child) I think it's rather telling that there's not a single company that's touching any of these currently insanely overpriced products and going, you know?

Sure, we may not make as much money, but we would have truckloads of goodwill and generate thousands of lifelong customers. And I understand the business reasoning for that, but great businesses are not built by bean counters any more than wars are decided by bullet rations. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] FudgyMcTubbs@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago Man...
