Executives used to be stewards of the company. They took care of brand, and people.

Then we switched to a bottom line focus. Now, profit, stock prices are the only thing that matters.

Shortcuts, layoffs, benefit cuts, etc are the only way to offset not making continuous market growth, and still rack ridiculous profits.

Also, great deal of Americans started not giving a shit about where the product comes from or who makes it. We want the cheapest thing, fast. Just has been our personal priorities.

There's not much incentive for a company to consider it's corporate image, contributions to community and public, etc.

I'd say that's when.
