21. I figure it comes down to how much increased ad revenue

does a singular personality bring to entertainment venues like sports franchises.

If the addition of a particular bad seed creates additional profit/revenue, I just assume the 1% will, all other things being equal, base every decision on profit-analysis at the expense of ethical leadership/stewardship.

Or to truncate Fitzgerald, “They were careless people... they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money... and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”
