I agree with that first one in part.

When a company goes public, its mission statement changes from "provide the best possible product to customers" to "increase shareholder value in perpetuity."

That's all that matters anymore. Not quality. Shareholders. Stock price. Maximizing cash flow.

Private companies are "Are we in the black? Cool." Publicly-traded ones are "Profits, profits, profits."

But something tells me that's not what the retweeter was going for.
