    “Make more money, faster, at any cost” seems to be the motto of a lot of companies these days… Stockholders are there, waiting for their returns, like hungry hatchlings. And CEOs will do anything to try to keep them happy. This system is shit.

        It should be: “Make the best quality of goods[ and services] possible at the lowest cost possible, paying the highest wages possible.” To paraphrase Henry Ford.

        He was a jackass in a lot of ways but that ideal is bounds better than “fuck workers and consumers, get yachts.”
