Now, wait a minute. Didn't we just get a lecture on capitalism explaining
that that no matter what, always sell your product for as much as up can
possibly get, and that there is nothing obscene, or immoral about doing
so?? Those executives are just capitalists who are selling themselves for
as much as they can possibly get away with. Leave them alone and let them
have whatever they can get.

After all, that is why a small cup of popcorn costs $4.50 at the movies,
so those that sell it can get insanely rich, while those who have not the
money, may not enjoy the product. If you want to have a vanagon, you must
play the system and make them rich.

Its just capitalism at its best. Nothing wrong with that.
