The margins don't get erased by simply insisting that the powers-that-be erase them.

I generally disagree with most of the very high margin opportunities. Why? Because it's a business strategy tradeoff: the lower the margin you take, the faster you grow.

We have to slowly, carefully, and thoughtfully align all of our interests.

I understand personally that it is frustrating to lose presidential elections by narrow margins.

Percentage margins don't matter. What matters always is dollar margins: the actual dollar amount. Companies are valued not on their percentage margins, but on how many dollars they actually make, and a multiple of that.

Obviously you have to make a profit to put out a newspaper. I'm not an idiot. But when the margins are in excess of 25 per cent you're talking about greed.

We do what we want. We don't care what anyone else thinks.

We measure everything - why not governance?

For every issue, I send four pages of finished marginals and they select the ones they need.
