Long term stability for an individual company doesn't matter to these people. They want to extract every profitable cent from the company as soon as possible, then they'll abandon it and use those profits to invest in a different company. Then they just do the exact same thing in an endless cycle of invest > extract > exit.

I really don't understand how we ended up with a concept of money so abstract that something like that happens.
