result of having every company run by people with business degrees and no passion for the businesses they run

You'd think that even soulless business ghouls would've learned somewhere along the way to put a price tag on things like long-term customer loyalty and the soft power of your brand. So either they're too dumb to take all the variables into account or they're looking only at short term gains.

Short term gains, every time. These people will take a dollar today over ten tomorrow every chance because they have tunnel vision and only focus on immediate profits happening RIGHT NOW. Ironically the people most likely to drone on about investments are the least likely to really understand their functionality and what investing time or money into something is supposed to mean and accomplish. Most companies these days feel like their just trying to gobble up enough cash to survive their impending failure, it feels so bleak.
