I agree, up to a point. It used to be that all you had to do was make a profit. That is no longer good enough. Now the profit each year must be 10-15% higher than last year. How long can a company sustain such a geometric growth in profits and stay in business. This is why we see jobs being sent overseas for cheap labor. That is why quality corners are cut, when possible. If we did not have such a demand for ever-increasing profits, our whole economy for the last 30-40 years might be a whole lot better off.
