This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

The idea is just to get there first. If you make it one quarter before your competition then you get a a really good quarter.
Long terms plans don't matter to CEOs. Long term stability is not rewarded by capitalism.
Also if they believe the outcome is inevitable in the near future it's a certain kind of sensible to race to be first. It's a variant on the prisoners dilemma where they can see each other racing to rat the others out in the hope that the first will get a discount on sentence length.
