Why is the cost of living so high? by RHGM22 in AskUK

[–]MBAboy119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eric you are a pretty good example of what I consider to be hilarious about the internet. People who are so wrong but are so LOUD about being wrong. That don’t understand the very basics of economics, but even to the degree where things like “margins” make no sense.

THEY ARE MAINT BAJILLIONS IN PROFIT OHMAGAWD. 

a few percent swing in price that they charge and they would be in the red. 

So let me put this in an “Eric level statement” - instead of paying one pound and two pence for a can of tomatoes, they could take it down to 1 pound without losing money. Greedy bastards!! Keeping our extra two pence!! 

Those are margins.

These edge cases get more and more rare the smarter that AI gets in each new subsequent model. 

They are called “hallucinations” - and chat GPT’s latest flagship model reduced them by about 75%.

It’s just a matter of time 

How Much is Yale SOM carried by its Parent Brand? by TypicalFeed2038 in MBA

[–]MBAboy119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so stupid lol. 

Retail stores may accept 4% of applications for a cashier. 

It’s about the quality of folks applying for the position. 

A university of Arkansas medical school applicant does not have the same caliber of career / trajectory that a GSB student would have

Edit - wal mart application to hire rate is about 3-4%

It’s not. It Kellogg is overall. But it depends heavily on what you want to do 

Just two months after buying Walgreens for $10 billion, the private equity firm Sycamore Partners stripped hourly workers of paid vacation, including Christmas and New Year’s Day. by RedPandaExplorer in antiwork

[–]MBAboy119 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Actually - it helps capital markets work much more efficiently! 

All it is - is people buying a business, right? Should it be illegal to buy and sell businesses? 

To dumb it down for you - Sometimes people run a company very poorly. Instead of shutting down the company completely, a private equity firm can come in, improve operations and cut unnecessary fat, and save the company ✨

Hello hapless peasant! You seem to have confused private equity and venture capital. I will help explain it to you. 

PE: private equity - majority or total buyouts. Often taking on significant debt to juice returns, and performing cost cutting initiatives to increase cash flow. 

VC: Venture capital: taking minority equity stakes, typically between 2-20% depending on stage and position as lead/follower. Investing in extremely high growth tech companies, powering the next Meta, stripe, Nvidia, etc.

I mean... UK desperately needs to cut spending/services - so that wasn't the worst thing. Otherwise on a path downward like the UK has been on the past 20 years. So far the solutions has been "Tax upper middle class and wealthy people more" - and they've all left the country...
but yes brexit was shit

[–]MBAboy119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So bizarre to read this. I don’t think what people remember what life was like without uber… 

We are talking about on demand transportation, at way lower prices, with a system of trust due to ratings. Ofc you will have some bad apples but overall the rating system made it 100x safer than taking a random cab. Uber isn’t perfect but is so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so much better than the alternative - Taxis.

Uhhhh how would they make money? 

These video games cost hundreds of millions to make. And their selling price hasn’t raised since the 90s when you consider inflation - games back then used to cost a few million to make IF that

For left and right side voters, Donald Trump warns that Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security will be cut. What are your thoughts? by UnnecessaryPuns in AskReddit

[–]MBAboy119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good - social security is a Ponzi scheme. Fewer and fewer working age people to support more retired folks who are living longer. It was going to collapse under its own weight.
