Almost like the modern corporate structure is what's really evil. Sixty or Seventy years ago, in the golden age of US manufacturing, companies were mostly privately owned. No shareholders to please. That let them make long-range strategic plays, instead of making short term anti-plays just to make the next quarter number go up.
