You may believe that. But my experience; a majority of others remain in denial.

I ask this often. What is the purpose of a company? Something well above 75% of the time - the answer is "profits". A majority are still that deceived.

In another example long before you arrived - I indentified General Motors as a defective and anti-innovation company over a generation ago. Did so by viewing their products. How many knew that buying a GM product 20 years ago only contributed to American economic harm? I believe many today are still in denial.

Hell, GM still does not have a real hybrid yet. Clinton gave them $millions to design one in 1994 - and still they cannot sell one. And still so many have been in denial for so long as to buy GM products.

You would think many finally understood that bottom line accounting is destructive. I believe so many are still in denial. Virtually every Cellar dweller has read my GM criticisms for years if not decades. I don’t see anyone saying, “I did not believe it then. But now I do.”
