This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: daniel_ream;535957"Lowest common denominator" marketing is a symptom, not the cause. The cause is the current practice of speculation in corporate stocks rather than long-term dividend rewards.  Paying CEOs in stock options is part and parcel of this; it encourages short-term, quarter-by-quarter thinking that's designed to briefly pump up stock prices so the holders can make out like bandits.  That's not a very good way to run a company over the long term, though.

Spot on.
