Two phrases
Friday, May 2, 2025
I read two excellent phrases today that sum up our world in a few words:
“It’s more profitable to apologize than to ask for permission” - this in the context of large corporations that make no secret of the fact that they have copyrights for nothing and break the rules for their own gain.
“Capitalism is based on incentives, not benevolence” - this perfectly captures the modern world of business and economics. In fact, one can apply these words to any area of our lives in which the driving wheel is selling anything to anyone.
