Sounds cool til you realize the assets being squeezed are mostly just other people

    No no no. I gave them CULTURE! A wonderful work culture.

    And security! Sure, not the security I decided I need for myself, and it's only really present as long as they're profitable to me, but security nonetheless.

    After all, I had the idea and stuck my neck out to secure the financing, which is far more important than the actual daily labor that keeps things running.

    We're like a family, see.

    Even if the assets aren't people, not squeezing value is required to maintain some fun and life as well as long term sustainability. If you squeeze it, you might squeeze it dry. I hate all the adverts everywhere. Can I just go somewhere to save my eyes...
