I was trying to find articles showing the financial history of the company. It was around 5 years to show their first small profit but they were often up and down during the first 14 years. Net operating income about 0.
For sure, but @ihhawk claimed Amazon didn't make a profit for 14 years.
So your original post was full of sh*t. As far as Trump goes he's the one claiming to be the best deal maker and ultimate rich man, not Jeff Bezos.
This show was literally the only profitable thing Trump has ever done.
He probably got production credit on top of being paid to perform, but this was NBC's success. Actually, I think MTV started the genre? Right? The Real World, Road Rules, Fake (music) News?
Which is why we just put a reality tv star in charge of the worlds largest economy.
How insane was it that Trump got people to compete to work for his failing and bankrupt companies?
Was that really the premise of the show? I watched maybe 10 cumulative minutes in years (not a fan of the reality TV genre for the most part). They were supposedly seriously working for his ventures? I just assumed it was like participating in high school DECA.
It's only a matter of time before more are leaked out. Trump should get out ahead of the curve and release some phony ones before the real ones come out. His supporters will believe anything, anyway. Put some out that show he paid $1 billion a year in taxes, and gave $2 billion a year to charity.
Yeah, but Trump has ALWAYS craved approval and praise from the NYC elite and the Times is their paper of record. Knowing he is losing his damn mind over this still makes it worth it from a pure schadenfreude perspective.
Showing that the emperor has no clothes is never a bad thing. I mean, presumably not everyone has their nose up Trump’s ass as far as you and will realize he is, indeed, a fraud, blowhard and exceedingly bad businessman.
Nothing is too big to fail, they said the same thing about General Motors.I'm no expert, but last I heard Tesla doesn't seem likely to make it. If so, they'll probably liquidate proprietary technology to recoup something. And the technology/potential does seem likely to benefit everyone long term.
Again, no expert, but Amazon's infrastructure alone is basically too big to fail long term barring external catastrophe and/or government intervention busting retail oligopoly. Their online properties are large enough to dwarf and buyout tech upstarts to enhance their products. The world's greatest loss leading company.
Trump lost money owning/operating a casino. His successful ventures are licensing his name, leasing some commercial and residential real estate (brilliant business), and appearing on TV. In business, he's not in the same league as Tesla and Amazon and could never be. He's not as talented and neither are the people he surrounds himself with.
Huh, my wife’s business expanded from 3 to 10 stores that decade. In the industrial Midwest.
Nope. Industrial and welding supplies with the main clients being major agricultural equipment manufacturers, which actually fared worse than poor Manhattan developers in that timeframe.
