1. You can take out "MM" from the above sentence, and replace it with any
publicly-held company. That's the job of companies. Not to "provide a better
development environment", not to make the world a better place, but to make
money. However they can make that money the easiest is the best path, and
it's their responsibility to their stockholders to follow that path.
Everything else is just a bonus.

Unfortunately, knowing the realities of publicly traded companies first
hand, I have to, albeit reluctantly, agree with the facts of your statement.
I find it sad that we have developed a system where the anonymity that
results from being one of the many stockholders pushes profit at all cost
and does not set a tone to "...make the world a better place". Sometimes I
think that the bonus should be to make the profit. Of course I then look at
my mutual finds, stocks, and my business plan and get back to the real
world, hopefully tempered by the mental exercise. You can't change the
world all in one day.
