Is my sarcasm meter broken? They're a publicly traded company, they care about profits.



Yes they are publicly traded but they do not care about profits. They are really the only company I can ever think of that has had hypergrowth for 20 years and never turned a profit. ALL they care about it growth.

Yea I think he misunderstood what you were saying. Amazon could turn a huge profit if they wanted to. However, like you mentioned, they chose to reinvest 99% of their profits into growth and development.

It's why they're gonna rule the world one day.
