Greed is in their blood and they will destroy anyone and anything that stands in between them and their pocketbook. This goes for all the CEOs ripping people off like the Robber Barons of the Gilded Age. Anyone who profits from death and suffering is not a human, but a monster. No wonder I now identify as a misanthrope.

Most all CEO's are sociopaths.
Compassionate people dont get that far in the corporate world. Sociopathy is the engine that drives capitalism.
