There are differences between "profit" and "greed," but apparently these

Examples of greedy *******s would be Edison, Firestone, Ford, Bill

That's just silly. There have been plenty of innovators whose driving
force was intellectual curiosity and advancement of knowledge.

Ford's was a first, then it was pure greed. And I'm a HUGE Ford fan,
know a lot about him that most don't. He ended up in his later years
quite bitter with himself for what he had done, although he also done a
LOT of good.
