  How much has the price of milk gone up in the last 4 years?

  You just don’t understand them. They make perfect sense when you educate yourself

  They can also sell product to customers, but often over stock items for the same reasons.

  Showing trillions of dollars in assets, with inflated inventory dollar values makes the company look more valuable, which impacts the stock price.

  I’m sure there are a dozen ways to skin that cat, but this is how C-Suite execs seem to prefer to make their stock go up

  That doesn’t make logical sense, though

  This would still count as company assets, though?

  Does apple lease their campus?

  I’m not convinced the bottom dollar is as relevant as the stock price.

  These companies make baffling dollar decisions, like having these trillion dollar campuses, that would make no sense at all to the bottom dollar.

  It would seem wasteful. But for the stock? Well that seems like a different story. What does having trillions in real estate holdings under a company name do to the stock?

  It’s not just about liking the big buildings. It’s also very much tired to company evaluation numbers and stock price.

  Real estate is a huge part of company asserts and they reflect in the stock price.

  Why do you think these huge mega companies publicly traded have these trillion dollar campuses and stuff? Private companies would find that a little bit crazy, when they are more focused on having actual cash in the bank.

  The real estate isn’t an ego thing, it’s protecting and growing the price of company stock

  I think the point is that it’s ducking hard to talk about lmao 🤣

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨4k is not 2160p - heard it here first!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s obviously talking about horizontal lines, not pixels

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨4k is not 2160p - heard it here first!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  1920 x 2 = 3840 (4K UHD)

  That’s what he’s talking about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨4k is not 2160p - heard it here first!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s pretty confusing

  “If you think 4K and UHD are one and the same, I don’t blame you. I blame the companies that LOVE to use them interchangeably all the time. You pick up a Blu-Ray movie disc of a 4K movie and you will most definitely see an Ultra HD label on it. 4K is actually not a consumer display and broadcast standard but UHD is. 4K displays are used in professional production and digital cinemas and feature 4096 x 2160 pixels”

  You’re just learning how to become an adult

  Sounds normal to me, growing up brings a lot of changes and responsibilities that you aren’t used to. We all go through it and find our way.

  This doesn’t seem like something you want to meta game

  Maybe on you’re 3rd or 4th play through? But not at launch. This is a legit RPG
