All of these people have motives… Their motives simply aren’t money
I do believe this was the message that was intended to be conveyed by the post itself
Sure, but some people really need it spelled out.
Like in the title of the post? Or in the image comprising the post?
Show me where in the post title or anywhere in the rest of the post it says “their motives aren’t money”.
Maybe I just missed that part?
Because “spelled out” and “implied“ are not the same thing. But I guess some people just need that spelled out for them.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
"without a profit, no one would be productive"
It's cropped out the top of the image unless you open it lol.
Don’t blame me for someone else cropping it.
Speaking of motivation, my motivation was to add clarity, not to start petty arguments
What’s yours?
In the image itself, it directly calls it a "profit motive," not just a general motive. I figured you may have missed that by mistake, wasn't trying to be rude.
Then the rest the of the post implies that these other people are able to do stuff without a profit motive, though yes it doesn't state they have other motives i suppose? But i think that's the point
Sure, but why pass up the opportunity for some petty bickering?
No need to reply
I don't think I was involved in any bickering. I meant to clarify my thoughts from earlier.
Hence: without profit motive.
Are people not profiting off their feel good hormones just like they would getting a shiny new doohickey?
SHOULDN'T all these people be paid?
???
