          Companies have no purpose beyond producing a profit though whatever means. That’s where regulations come in. I removed a long diatribe about regulations and control and etc., the short is that it really is all about the shareholders in the end, and left unthrottled you’ll get what you get.

            Yeah. Cynicism is a kind of unthrottling though - companies are not to be expected to follow rules, they are to be forced. Legal form of companies doesn’t matter for this.
