Losses From Slop Are "Investment", Hundreds of Billions in Debt Are "Growth Opportunity", Layoffs Are "Great to See", and Loss of Business Means "We Need a Slowdown" (for "Safety")
Microsoft's narrative (lies told to shareholders) is breaking into pieces. Lots of articles like this circulating this week:
Microsoft of GAFAM glory is doing great.
It is investing in a future.
A future wherein it focuses on the thing is loses a lot of money on.
It borrows hundreds of billions of dollars to do more of the thing it loses money on.
At the same time Microsoft is removing staff, as investment is apparently the act of shrinking.
"Streamlining" is the new term for layoffs.
If things do not work out, then demand a "slowdown".
Blame the failure on too much "regulation".
Say your slowdown is not self-imposed.
Say you value "safety". █
