I agree with you, but the direction is wrong - the best people are allowing the company to save money, as opposed to make more money. Saving/not losing money is as important as making money, so I completely agree with your sentiment - but unfortunately the concept of saving money appears to be too complex for most executives to understand, and shareholders don't give a fuck about anything except 'MAKE MORE MONEYS!' Good luck trying to explain to shareholders the importance of saving money - they would look at you like a dog being shown a card trick.

Our whole dominant version of capitalism is fucking dumb tbh.
