bottom line economics here in the US.

There are a lot of incentives for CEO's to hit economic targets for a corporation and the board usually have a lot of say if not all for CEO bonuses.

The room is sanitized to remove any empathy for citizens because it'll all about the bottom line, profits. In this climate all things are on the table to reach the holy grail, profits. Profits above all else! Anyway possible!

I only say cause I've been close to these types of shenanigans, never participated, eventually left cause I couldn't stand it anymore.

This country's business community are detached from empathy or any morality.

As I recall I don't think they teach any ethics in business courses anymore.

What we have is a cancer of greed in the US.
