> and greed You need to stop reading/watching material that promotes this nonsense about business and, perhaps, try running a business for a while. What this ideology calls "greed" is what every business, from the local small bakery shop to a multinational has to do: Optimize for profits while delivering product that satisfies customer needs at the right value and quality level. If they miss either or both of the last two they lose business to competitors who do a better job. Was Steve Jobs greedy? It's funny how when that example is brought up those characterizing big business as being greedy suffer a short circuit in the brain. Now, wait a minute, before you down-vote, Steve Jobs and Apple sell some of the most grotesquely overpriced tech in the world and the company is exploding with cash. Ain't that greedy? Oh, you say their hardware isn't grotesquely overpriced because of the value and quality it offers? BTW, I own a bunch of it myself. PC's as well. Not overpriced? OK. I guess the company OPTIMIZED their offerings to FIT WHAT THEIR CUSTOMERS WANT. How about that? They are not greedy after all. They are doing what every company large and small has to do: Optimize for profits while delivering product that satisfies customer needs at the right quality level. If they miss either or both of the last two they lose business to competitors who do a better job. Yup. Greedy bastards.
