Makes a difference.
Ok, I can go with that, but it sounds the same. "I have money and power so fuck you if you object".
Again, I am not going to claim even with the jadedness that that dominates the top, that it is always about money. Like I said in the prior post, if every other flight ended up in flames nobody would fly. I only blame the climate of thought, not the individual. I think far too much of the top is stuck on numbers and yes greed plays a part.
The market globally is not pragmatic. The competition is about profits far too much than it should be. The competition is not for the consumer, but a dick measuring contest between the top. If it were pragmatic as an over all climate, we'd see less stories like this, not more. But, when you can make a quick buck selling the average Joe an unrealistic utopia, yes, you are going to end up with stupid bitches like that.
