And in practice to suceed you need to do quite an opposite, which is why we have regulators and government agencies making sure your food is at least safe to eat...

With obesity being the new norm here in the US I'm thinking we/they failed miserably somewhere along the way.

Actually, the most successful people I know, and they're very successful, are quite honest.

And government regulation, like government controlled education, has proven to be an expensive and massive failure for the most part, especially concerning food.

I deal daily with c level types in multinatonal corporations. I wouldn't describe them same way. In one to one setting they can appear human, gather them into a group that washes away responsibility, and all resemblance of concience disappears quickly.

As for second example, you're absolutelly right. This is because US government is a best government that corporate money can buy. It stopped working for people long time ago, it works for companies and lobbists. First ammendment, company = human stuff.... that ship has sailed long time ago. And billionaire owners of those companies ain't about to fix it.

When considering Corporate integrity, I will start with the Ford Pinto and the DC-10. OF course, no criminal charges were filed. Care to add to the list?

Oh, I work in a multinational corporation. I have little, if any, use for most at mid level management and up. They're not people I consider truly successful, they're just turds that float up high in the bowl.

Successful to me is the guy (or gal) who builds a business, or at least is part of one, that is truly successful, on their own.

The government is a perfect example of both Bastiat, who warned what would happen when people discovered they could vote themselves largesse from the public coffers, as well as the politicians that learned to buy their votes, and the theory of democracy, that the people know what they want, and deserve to get it, good and hard.

Boeing in general (well, McDonnell Douglas management).
