Couldn’t agree more. And they want that control because of greed.

I agree with what you’re saying and also it feels worth pointing out how pervasive the rhetoric of profitability has become.

We don’t talk about the military running at a loss, or the department of transport, or any other part of the government. We talk about their cost, because that’s really what it is. Services don’t “lose” money, they cost money.

They’re describing LORAN.

It’s utterly bizarre. The customers lose out by receiving an inferior product at the same cost. The workers lose out by having their employment terminated. And even the company loses out by having its reputation squandered. The only people who gain are the executives and the ownership.
