[The ruthless discount of future]

'Where there is dicing with overdraft of time in opportunity, lacks reality of the fact that future is a luxury few can afford'[1]. Companies are full-blown obsessed with quarterly results, while investors are always clamoring for more. In this relentless pursuit of growth, the future is often discounted, sacrificed at the altar of underscored short-term gains. It's a ruthless game, where decisions are made with calculators and spreadsheets, rather than vision and foresight.

The consequences of this thoughtset are far-reaching than instantly recognized. Environmental degradation, social injustice, and economic instability are just a few of the symptoms of a system that prioritizes profits over people and the planet. Companies are willing to exploit resources, ignore social responsibility, and disregard long-term consequences, all in the name of maximizing shareholder greed posed as value. It's a ticking time bomb, and the bill will eventually come due.

The discounting of the future is not just limited to environmental and social issues. It's also reflected in the way companies treat their employees on many fronts. With the gig economy on the rise, job security is fast becoming a thing of the past. Effort machinery is expected to be on-demand, with little regard for their well-being or career development. The prime focus is on short-term productivity, rather than long-term growth and investment in human capital to ensure sustained stability.

This thoughtset also permeates the way companies approach innovation. With pressure to deliver results now, there's little incentive to invest in R&D or explore new markets. Instead, companies opt for quick fixes, like share buybacks or acquisitions, to boost their stock price. It's a recipe for stagnation, and it's killing the spirit of entrepreneurship and innovation. This rusted approach a sure rented front seat consequence to account for in the future. Truth be put to light, not prioritizing your effort machinery invites a whole lot of loss headaches that only a round-head thinker will navigate a way back into shaping the state of your company's affairs.

The ruthless discount of future is not just a corporate problem; it's a societal issue. Pro-rich governments are also guilty of prioritizing short-term gains over long-term sustainability. It's time for a shift in perspective, one that values the future and recognizes the interconnectedness of our actions. Sans that, we stand to leave the planet tattered for our upcoming generations.

In conclusion: the future is not a distant orchestra to yet name, it's but a known reality that's being shaped every day. We need to stop discounting it and start aggressively investing in it. Companies, governments, and individuals must work together to create a more sustainable and equitable world. The clock's arms not on anti-mode, and the stakes of risk are busy playing close to blood button. It's time to crank change to the game...dp
