    To me that’s a different road to the same answer because it’s almost always advantageous to be unethical, see the correlation between sociopathic tendencies and Fortune 500 company CEOs.

      That’s why I differentiate between publicly traded and privately owned companies. In the former, if the CEO’s ethics are stopping profits, they get kicked out. In the latter, if the CEO/owner happens to be a nice guy, it can have an impact on the company as a whole.

        I’m more talking about the ethics of the consumers being factored into the profit equation, which has a very real impact on today’s corporate profits.

        Not the CEO. Those guys are sociopaths.
