Yeah a hard choice, between a yacht or a private airplane vs morality. In short Tangible vs the intangible.

I wonder why a ceo was recently gunned down. They all seem to have fantastic moral character. Why someone would do such a thing escapes me. /s

Weren’t they a “nonprofit” lol

It's a little bit of a weird setup. There is a nonprofit portion and a for profit portion. If i recall correctly, the nonprofit owns the majority of the for profit portion. The nonprofit board is able to replace executives without having to worry about how it affects profits.

But they are trying to change that nonprofit board to for profit.
