Wrong. They tried to set up an Inquisition with a mandate to make it look like their government has no hand in excessive gas prices. Didn't work.

All companies are mandated by their shareholders to get the best ROI possible.....
..... Which is, by definition, greed. There's nothing preventing shareholders from imposing any legal conditions or restrictions they wish, on how a company operates. But mostly, they're just plain greedy.

I question the notion that companies - especially ALL companies - must be owned by shareholders who demand "the best possible" returns. In fact the following article from The Washington Post suggests that CEOs can, and even should, ignore any such 'mandate.' :

https://www.washingtonpost.com/busi... corporations-purpose/

“CEOs work to generate profits and return value to shareholders, but the best-run companies do more. They put the customer first and invest in their employees and communities. In the end, it’s the most promising way to build long-term value,” said Tricia Griffith, president and CEO of Progressive Corp."

I believe somewhat less than 1% of all companies are publicly traded.

Therefore over 99% of companies don't even have shareholders

Do you work for a salary?.. Is it greater than minimum wage?


.... You must be greedy

Without any competitive form of ROI, these companies will not be able to raise cash.... Those CEOs of companies that have shareholders outside of themselves that make the decision to forgo profits will be looking for a job if they can't deliver growth and a ROI
