So? That’s what businesses are supposed to do. Make money. You should invest in the company and then you’ll make money off of the money they make off you.
Why do you hate progress?
My grandma isn’t alive so it wouldn’t even bother her and making money is good, I hope they earn as much as possible so my investments do better!
You’re just jealous of the successful car companies, try starting your own car company if you don’t like it
don't feed the trolls, just downvote and move on
Get a job, and save up your money. I’m not running a charity here
You realize this literally sounds like some shit a 90s comic would have had the corporate villain say, right

Companies typically pay their workers
I am creating the product that they sell

Nope, you’re just raw materials to be mined.
Then I own the land and they should be leasing it from me
You’ll own nothing and you’ll like it, get back to work
