No one's looking at long term right now because they have already made the bad long term decisions years ago. So it's either shed the massive debt with a spinoff or say fuck it and hustle for quarterly gains till the wheels fall off.
See a bubble. Globally suppress wages. Lower staffing. Lower production (and production quality which is a overall circulation decay as units fail). Increase prices. Massive profits. Buy back own stock essentially fellating oneself. Mass layoffs. Endure the bubble burst with massive coffers (real or fake who cares). Rinse repeat.
