Okay, this is a small point, but it bugs me: it's The Rosenbergs and not Rosenburgs. With an "e."
I'd also remind you that they broke the law, were caught and punished. But there was a law on the books that they broke.
That said, companies are machines. Those who work for them are not going to risk their careers (i.e. house, cars, kids' education, etc.)by making a morally correct but unprofitable choice.
That is the harsh, grown-up reality. If you want a company to act counter to profit then pass a law. Otherwise the company will continue to pursue profit in any way it can.
Hey, what's a law when profit margin is involved. You're supposed to curse, spit and say something about "regulation" aren't you... Don't let's get religion now and try to explain it away. Where'd the profit at any cost mantra vanish to?
Companies are not machines. Companies are a collection of people with and without ethics. Those people work for a living - yes even make profits for the greater good of the whole. But that does not diminish their responsibility to act in the better interests of this nation instead of their raw greed. Law or no law. For people who complain endlessly about proliferation of laws and regulation, it's interesting that you find God on those subjects when hit with harsh reality.. and then only to handwring. It's pretty pathetic that one should have to argue legal/illegal vs right/wrong when it comes to the greater good of the nation. Especially when this rot is coming from the GOP who should know better. You should know better!
