If I have a broken car and want to sell it to my neighbor, how can I do that if profit is eliminated?

[–] grilled_cheese_eater@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I meant corporate profit. Selling your used car wouldn't earn you any profit in the first place and even if it did, you would be your very own self employed employee.

I meant profit as the money that instead of through fair wages for actual employees is distributed through dividends to shareholders.

I thought everyone had the same definition of the word "profit", but I guess not.
