In the immortal words of Mr Schrute, &quot;false.&quot;<p>Profitability depends on a network of flowing capital. When the input (e.g. of venture funding) dry up, profits will vanish in a shockwave.<p>That is dramatically true for companies whose business model is to provide services and products for either other companies in the network...<p>...but also for those catering to their employees.<p>IMHO a lot of &#x27;problems&#x27; which seemed to cry out for an &#x27;app&#x27; solution are going to turn out to be first world problems no longer pressing when the economy turns.<p>Then there&#x27;s the fact that there are a lot of ugly weather patterns nationally and globally brewing...<p>Hold on, Toto!
