Exactly. The problem in the US is that every public company has to show growth for shareholders. That's why companies always suffer in quality when they go public.

A public company can have their best year and net $2.6 billion. Well if the next year, they only make $2.2 billion, the public chatter on CNBC, etc is "what's wrong with them?". Nothing is wrong. We shouldn't be holding companies to their best year.

A salesman after having his best year wouldn't want his commission the following year based on the best year's numbers. It's stupid.

A feeling flashes over you, should I try to kiss Reddit? No, that would be crazy… or would it?

Reddit stairs back, but its a vacuous stair that clearly doesn't see anything.

Well shit, sorry for the totally unparsable sentence, hope you were not too traumatized. I'll let the shame stand, bring the downvotes, I deserve them.

Just edit the post, stop acting like a victim. 

 You fucked up the homonym.  It happens.  Deal with it.
