255. You nailed the indirect point I wanted to make
The integration of software does not always go well, yet the Big Pharma gets to concoct compunds, usually based on a known pattern, like a compound in an herb, and tweak it a little bit, patent it and make huge sums of money. Forget about the liver toxicity, as long as it makes that 10% growth per quarter slice of the pie.
I know you don't personally see that profit. If fact, I would be surprised if you've seen any meaningful wage growth in the past several years.

I'm sure that there are corporations that are not full of unethical greedy crooks, but thats not what this thread is about. You and I agree that a broad brush catches too many entities, but that not a problem. If we were allowed to see into these organizations we could determine it quite easily.

I'm just curious as to why you got your panties into a bunch while talking about this? Do you actually follow the news and see the corruption that has taken place in Corporate America in the last 20 years and really think that we are on the right track?
