Maybe I should have used a different ass-word, like assuming their motives. Yes, it's a business created in part to make money, but that seems a given that need not be elevated as their main motive for their actions. Capitalism, when it works, is about supplying people with what they want at a cost that ensures a profit.

If you don't want to extend them the benefit of a doubt regarding why they're doing what they're doing, that's your prerogative, but I detect an eagerness to assume the worst of them, and that stops me. Maybe you're naturally more cynical than me. I wouldn't have mentioned it if it were the first time I'd seen it.
