Slap on the wrist? Lol. $61.5m would be a slap on the wrist. $615k is a tip.


$615k is a stern look by a grandma whose eyes cannot help but betray just how much she loves you.


It works, because you love her.

An almost absurd question, but would it be possible to add love to company interactions?


I don’t believe so for my definition of “love” because it includes wanting to do kind things for someone without needing anything at all in return.

A company might emulate love, but it’s really just veiled manipulation.


Unless you're Subaru, then no. For every other company, there is public opinion and public goodwill.


Haha


Start with the idea "somebody" is making $1T/yr because of the status quo. Qui bono?

Then factor time:

1000000000000÷12÷30÷24÷60÷60

Somebody is making $32k profit per second. Who? That's about 5% margin/tax on $615k, so yeah, it's happening per second.
