Profit doesn’t matter if it doesn’t make the line go up! It’s a failing company because line didn’t go up! Tractors aren’t the product. Only line is product. All hail line. If we pray to line, perhaps line go up?
Yup sadly with how the Crockmarket works a company can fail because the line didn’t go up. If it doesn’t go up investors will pull out and kill a company but this thinking is bullshit because as soon as a company starts to dip some will sell but others will step in and then the new line is a bit lower but then it can go up without layoffs.

Yes, yes, now: about those executive paychecks. We feel $27M per year isn’t competitive. We’re thinking more like 500M. To start.
10 to 15 yrs later: “Line no longer go up! We need bailout!, if no bailout, line go down and politicians fired!”

Remember that trope about AI destroying humanity due to mistakenly trying to over-optimize for bent paperclips
Turns out it was actually always about the lines humanity itself could raise along the way
Let us all gather and pray for the ascension of the demarcation.
Line them throats, line them wrists,
For the market share
They’d call us terrorists
We can hardly care.
