- I am a capitalist by education, training and desire. I believe that free commerce and limited government produces better overall outcomes for humanity. But, it is not perfect, and human desires for power and greed often overwhelm reason and decency in the short term. After all, we as people are not perfect. Therefore, it is inappropriate to expect corporations to be perfect.
- We all matter. Particularly minorities, who consistently bear the burden and pain of injustice and discrimination.
- While short term profits can be the result of immediate gratification of power and greed, long term profit and benefit for all comes from treating all with respect. The larger the population interested in, purchasing, and benefiting from your products and services, the more profitable the enterprise. All win, all get what they desire.
- True profit emanates from doing what is right. Businesses now advertising that “black lives matter” means little other than short term self gratification of “doing good”.
- Genuine moral and ethical fiber comes from behavior and actions when no one is looking. And by the way, so does profit!
