It's the Rumpelstiltskin scenario. If someone is spinning gold from proverbial flax you should goddamn well ask how they're doing it before you start agreeing to things.

Or put less fancifully, receiving stolen goods is a crime. Where's the line between 'too good to be true' and assuming willful ignorance in a corruption case?

There's also the case of the executives claiming responsibility for all of the success of the company. If the success is theirs, not ours, then the rest of us don't want them to cherry pick. The failure and corruption is theirs too. It's a package deal.

If you want to talk about fixing the quasi-feudalist state we are moving toward and start thinking of companies more like a team, working together, then I'd love to discuss shared responsibilities as part of that reconciliation.
