[/quote] One of Netflix's features was no late fees. You just had a limit on how many DVDs you could have out at once, so people returned them fast so they could rent more. It was a pretty brilliant and not obvious business model, and when internet streaming became technically feasible Netflix had the money to make the jump.[/QUOTE] It's clever, reminds me of Aldi's .25-cart rental. |

Atari
The first successful videogame company founded by Nolan Bushnell, the inventor of the first arcade videogame, was bought up and run into the ground by Warner Communications.
Among many idiotic mistakes this Hollywood (translation: Jew) company made managing their hot acquisition: After their first cartridge system became a hit they ignored Bushnell's urgent request that they start work on a next-generation successor to the system. Warner didn't want to make a new system that would cut into sales of their existing one. Hollywood has always had difficulty understanding technology, despite being in what is very much a technology based business. They forced Bushnell out, along with most of their best game programmers. What programmers they retained they treated like crap, paying the creators of millions in sales a pitiful 30k a year. The programmers hit back by founding Activision and selling Atari compatible games that were superior to Atari's in house product. Atari lost all their lawsuits trying to shut down the competition. After their programmers were decimated many of Atari's own games were awful, including the notorious E.T. game they paid Spielberg $25 million up front to license and then rushed out in a few months for Christmas. The last straw was when Atari was approached by Nintendo with an offer to distribute their Famicom system everywhere except Japan. Negotiations failed, Atari lost the next big thing and was eventually sold off by Warner, after losing over $500 million in 1983. http://www.neatorama.com/2008/05/05/...fall-of-atari/ |

The wall of Adam Sandler was Blockbuster's one and only unique value. When Happy Gilmore was released on DVD your best chance of renting it that night was a Blockbuster membership. The majority of renters must have wanted that more than variety because the smaller stores that had a moderate stock of new titles and a good back catalog all went out of business. Well, except for the ones whose main business was renting porn. But their stock of real movies wasn't that great either. Netflix is still independent of Hollywood and I think it's a gentile founded company. |

The CEO-to-worker pay ratio in Germany is 12-1. In Switzerland its capped, by law, at 12-1. In Japan it's 11:1. In America, it's 475:1. I won't say exactly how much an executive should make, but I sure don't trust the CEO himself to make that decision. Legal checks and balances such as caps, or at the very least allowing shareholders to decide how much the CEO should get based on performance, is hardly "communist". Quote:
Entrenched capitalists no longer want to innovate, instead they want obedient little darkies to pull levers for them in third world wages and not ask any questions, all while having the chutzpah of selling their iPhone 12 in the "first world" for first world prices. I won't even go into the millions who have dropped out of the work force for good, because living off of welfare and food stamps provides about the same standard of living as working. Of course, the "Austrian" (Jew) school says that this is because of the existence of government programs, but what about the fact that so many jobs don't pay enough to provide basic subsistence?

It's my business when 52% of all fast food workers are forced onto government aid, and cost the tax payer (me) 7 billion dollars a year in food stamps and welfare. Why should the state have to subsidize the livelihood of employed Mcdonalds workers? See, for all your stomach turning hero worship, Mcdonalds likes big government (as long as its plutocratic), because it lets them in the short-term get away with vicious exploitation. Were it not for big government, the workers of Wal-Mart, Mcdonalds, and all the other multi-national businesses would rise up and destroy their companies, or outright kill them. A truly Aryan society is not one where white working families are living one paycheck away from homelessness, having to resort to food stamps, church pantries, and welfare despite being employed, all while your Kike big business heroes like Mark Cuban whine about getting taxed on their second private jet plane.
