Sometimes I visit them and wonder what wealth is like lol.

Rob I was wrong about it being wealth, alone and exclusively. Perhaps success it a better term. And to many wealth is a part of their envisioned success.

Pete, you nailed it this time. Pursuit of wealth for the sake of wealth gets us toxic derivatives. I've seen companies built with pride in craftsmanship begin to fail when the only concern became the profit margin. Isn't the focus on cutting corners to make more money what was, at least in part, responsible for the scourge of BPC?
