To my consternation, I discovered that the organization of the country included no technique for generating profit. Failure to generate a profit will inevitably result in failure of the organization. They include all life, from the smallest amoeba to the largest star. Yet people occasionally, and mistakenly, think that profits are an unnecessary function, and are somehow sinister. Whales and sea lions store fat.
Potato plants produce tubers.
In all of life, profit yields success and failure to make a profit results in death. In business, the difference between phenomenal success and dismal failure is often tiny. As a percentage, it is almost always less than ten percent, and is regularly less than five percent. These people don't understand that one year of profit means little to the life or death of an organization. Among humans, the exceptions to the principle are almost always non-voluntary.
