Profit is ethical in abstract if you're intelligent and can see how reputation is valuable. You will have a hard time getting people to buy your product if people hate you. We're not in the state we're in because of profit motive.

It's the short sightedness that causes the most unethical behavior from the top down. 10-Qs... a man considered changing that timeline to help fix that problem but he was ostracized. Maybe one day la naranja will return.

I would be interested to see what an ethics motive looks like that gets people out of the bed in the morning to do a job they barely care about.
