Has a pretty high expense ratio as it's not cheap to implement this strategy and there is no competition at the moment.

What, why?

Happy no, but he didn't fire them because he had to. He fired them because that's what's expected of a CEO, maximizing shareholder value.

You know, he could have fired 11k instead of 12k. I'm sure he sleeps just fine and would have also been okay with 15k.

The honest way to phrase this is "I'm the one who caused this."

"Responsibility" is ambiguous as you said, and that's exactly why he chose that word.

It's like a murderer saying:

"I don't regret what I did, I don't think it was wrong, I would do it again, I haven't been caught BUT I take full responsibility for the death of the victim."

>To match and fuel that growth, we hired for a different economic reality than the one we face today.

He kinda did.

The fewer jobs are available, the more desperate recruiters become to earn their commissions.
You think executives had to watch TikTok videos to know what's going on in their companies? I mean they allowed this to happen. It's not the fault of the employees. And of course these videos don't show reality, they cut out the boring parts (the desk work).
Is this possible in the US? In many European countries you couldn't do that unless one of the companies employs you "unofficially" (thus breaking labor and tax laws).

Price increases are taxed as well (eventually), do you also remove them?

The tax situation also obviously depends on the investors' tax residence. For example in Switzerland, private investors don't have to pay taxes on capital gains. And many countries have a flat tax for dividends and don't consider them income. But then dividends are often additionally taxed at the source, even though you can reclaim it in some cases.

I only have a case so that the iPhone cameras don't stick out and I can lay it flat on the table without wobble.

I know other people who have it because they want better grip or they just want to customize the looks of their phone. Protection is not always the #1 reason.
