Provide A Public Service With Small Profits, Or Destroy It With Large Ones? | The Agonist

...I don't buy all the hype that the internet is even the primary culprit of the demise of journalism. The primary culprit is the same as it is all over the country, in every industry and in government: equity extraction...You can provide a public service with small profits for a long, long time, but if you demand large ones you will destroy it. Just ask the big banks.

Agonist; destroyed; large ones; provided; Public services; small profit.
