>It is questionable if American capitalism really is about profit anymore.
Again, profit is mathematically impossible without:
1. Someone else incurring a financial loss.
2. The money for the profits being printed continuously as you go along.
3. Cost cutting by automation or moving production further away from where your legal tender (and fictional yet spendable legal tender) is plentiful to where it's more scarce (and production costs are lower) so as to lower your production costs. Then shipping the resulting goods back home for sale because you can get higher prices there because your legal (and fictional yet spendable legal tender) is more plentiful.
>Out of your largest corporations only Apple is profitable. Tesla, Microsoft, Twitter, Google, Youtube, they are not profitable,
As already explained, financial profits are mathematically impossible without someone else incurring financial loss, printing the money for the profits or cutting costs, including through outsourcing. But some stuff you cannot or may not want to outsource or offshore. And so you outsource the labour for by importing pajeets and firing natives because you can get the pajeets to work for less. Or, even better, you can get the pajeets to work from their own pajeetistan so you can pay them even less because they won't have the high living expenses they would if they moved to your country with rampant and accelerating inflation. It's not that complicated.
