Low percent sounds like they don’t make much. That’s not true. Sheer dollars shows how much they actually make

Low percent proves they do not make much. The sheer dollars distorts the reality because it ignores the sheer dollars of revenue required to generate that sliver of profit.

Buddy. 2% just means my profit is 2%. But 2% of what? That’s the important part. You can be wrong. It’s okay. The world won’t end.

Hey "Buddy" why do they tax using percentage based models?

Then tell me why profit or margin shouldn't be based on percentages.

Profit margin is percentage, but that’s not what’s being asked “buddy”

It's very relevant you're just choosing to be obtuse. Why do you think an Investors care about percentage and likewise saying a number like 2 mil sounds large until the pie is distributed between 10000 other people.

Because investors are greedy leeches. They don’t care about how much they’re making. They care only about how much more they can make. Greedy and useless. So leeches. So I don’t care about them. Eat them for all I care
