"short term bottom line" is a comically absurd way to describe Amazon, which has been growing consistently for 25 years.



This comment is peak short-termism! It is comically absurd to refer to 25 years as a long time!

There are companies that have been around for 300 years, in fact prior to rise of venture capital moat companies were multi-generational family business and you would consider how a decision would reflect on your children.


The professional management class in America no longer remotely behaves that way.


I'm talking about the prospects for growth in the next 25 years, not the last 25 years.
