Shopify, Apple, Google, Meta, Amazon all have long term goals.

Meta/Google/Amazon/Microsoft are literally investing R&D $ that will pay off 10+ years later.

Yet they all have laid off people.

Just because you laid of people doesn't mean they aren't thinking long term.

Really how can reddit/HN and social media be so blind about this when they have data screaming at them?

Maybe don't start with the assumption that everyone else is an idiot.
