This was fun to watch this changing landscape of the 10 top brands in each year and watching the billions of “worth” ticker up and down for each. My quick takeaways::
- How fast Nokia went up – and then down
- The absolute rocketing to the top by Apple
- Also, Amazon and Google
- The slow descent of GE and the blip that was Facebook
Source page. Watch (58 sec).
Success is earned – and by watching Nokia, lost as well. This shows that Capitalism is the only economic system where risk can be rewarded handsomely but ONLY if you serve your customers well. Stop doing so, and you will be punished; customers are in control.
This is EXACTLY why Socialists, Fascists, and Communists hate it – THEY want to control the winners and losers because each of those systems, and the power-hungry apparatchiks within Government who are trying to do the controlling want to remove you as deciding for yourself what’s best.
Just start thinking of them as the snobs / “cool bossy kids cliques” from high school and treat them (and their enabling politicians) exactly as such at any and all opportunity.
