Actually, the CEO is the person who controls the lever, and the railway is a closed circle, but if he stops the train, he just earns a 300% profit.

You misspelled "if he speeds up the train, he just earns a 300% profit". Literally how they work. Parasites.

No no, you see, he only gets 300% profit for stopping it, but would get more by allowing it to continue.

Nah, if he speeds up the train, he gets 1000% profit. He just refuses to stop the train because he would only get a 300% profit, which is less growth than last year's 500%, so shareholders would be unhappy.
