It's good to see you once again searching for the moral high

Hopefully you'll find it some day but I'm not holding my breath.

Just as an FYI, I'd argue that incompetence was probably a bigger
culprit than greed in the case of the building collapse. When
things
are designed and built correctly, they don't fall down.


What a wonderfully self-delusional way to look at corporate excess.
The
guy who expanded the building illegally in Bangladesh was simply
incompetent and didn't know what he was doing would lead to
disaster.
The companies who contract for the lowest price manufacturing
facility
didn't know the companies they retained had their workers laboring
for
**** wages in such a facility. It's never greed, because the free
market
system, why, it demands that structures and systems are designed,
built,
and operated correctly. Yup, so anything horrific that happens, why
it
is never the fault of cost-cutting or greed.

Wow. Harry, you really have become cynical to an excess over the
years. Starting to think GOM syndrome is setting in.

Greed is the driving force in the economy.

Bull ****

There are examples of greed for sure, but the vast majority of
businesses are competitive in nature which doesn't allow for greed to
drive them. Most businesses I know are certainly profit orientated,
either for organic growth and expansion (which generates jobs, BTW)
and/or for a return on investment for the stockholders. Excessive
costs imposed by the government for the privilege of doing business
shouldn't be confused with corporate greed.

I'm trying to think of the well-known businesses with whom we interact
every day where greed isn't the driving force. The only ones I can think
of are the small, family run contracting businesses and some family
restaurants.

Abortion mills. Greedy or not?
Eisboch's former business. Greedy or not?
Parker boats. Greedy or not?
Members of congress. Greedy or not?
Oprah Winfrey. Greedy or not?
Microsoft. Greedy or not?
