Welcome to IWETHEY!

New You are correct sir
Sometimes businesses can be started to be non-profit, a hobby (small business like the one I created), or environmental (they put the environment over profits, they recycle, etc)

Then there are businesses like "Ben & Jerry's" that donate a part of their profits to the rainforests, etc.

Business doesn't have to be about the "bottom line" but most corrupt businesses are exactly that way. They only want what is best for the company and not the environment, the economy, the consumer, employee health, or any other thing. Enron was this way, and created a fake shortage and lied about their books and eventually got caught by the feds and the press. But how many other companies like them are out there?

I am free now, to choose my own destiny.
