Our capitalist society legally obligates corporations to maximize share holder return at all costs.

If they don't, the shareholders sue the corporation they own, and win.

It's not "greed mode" it's not even that they're always in that mode.

It's like a fucking George Foreman grill, there's no switches or modes. If it's plugged in, this is what's happening. There's no way to have the system plugged in and not doing this

Like if someone turned on a light switch, and then asked why the room gets brighter every time they turn the switch on. Everything is working as designed...
