Just Because People on Top of the Microsoft Pyramid Made a Lot of Money Doesn't Mean Microsoft is Wealthy
The bigger they are the harder they fall
Last week: Microsoft's Debt Surged by More Than 6,000,000,000 Dollars in Just 3 Months
Microsoft is now acting like a company that's rapidly running out of money: no severance, no VPN, no nothing; just massive price hikes for customers. Microsoft tries passing the pain outwards.
"Microsoft is a big cult," an associate says, "they have to be off their rockers to even want to be there."
"Remember back during one of Lunduke's more lucid moments, years ago, he pointed out the cult-like devotion that was required by them to go from consultant to employee."
A lot of people wrongly assume that because some people got very rich inside Microsoft, therefore that means Microsoft itself is a big pile of cash. It's not. It's a pile of debt; speculative models try to say it is OK, but they make optimistic predictions of constant growth.
Speaking of "people got very rich inside Microsoft", a lot of the corporate media is currently being paid by Bill Gates to relay propaganda and lies for him. It is being paid to do so, under the guise of "new book" or "good billionaire" or some utter nonsense like that. For well over a decade Gates also bribed our national broadcaster, which has been publishing puff pieces about him lately, even putting them at the top of the front page. Those are paid ads. Our national broadcaster has in effect become a national propaganda arm of Bill Gates. "I'll have to look into it tomorrow," an associate said, but it looks like the USAID shutdown (big story) will affect the BBC Media Action which will sadly increase the influence of the Bill Gates bribes."
But let's examine the hidden message there; we're meant to somehow assume that his personal ill-gotten wealth somehow secures Microsoft's future. It doesn't work that way. There are countless companies that went bankrupt while (co-)founder became and remained rich.
The main question is, who will die first? Microsoft or Bill Gates? █
