30. Insightful, thanks.

I get the greed part. However, looking at individual shareholders who want to make money on their investments is understandable at least. I have always had a problem assigning human traits to non human entities, be it businesses or governments, nations. So is it greed that compels Apple?, or "good" business sense. I say good only for its result, not as a reflection on a moral choice. It defintely doesn't mean I agree either. I tend to be on the side that the cat was out of the bag when we transitioned to a global economy a la NAFTA and other trade agreements. I often wonder if we just don't suck at incentivizing. I had been an opponent one time of universal healthcare via public option, BUT, such a model could be great for the economy. How many corporations that manufacture over seas have to provide health care to their employees? We could make it more profitable to manufacture good here also, without cutting into salaries, we just choose not to.
