Re: Your World Delivered..Highly Unlikely

In this day and age, companies answer to the stockholders, not the customer. The only thing the customer serves is as the well from which to draw the money the stockholders demand. As long as the well doesn't dry up, they will draw from it until it does.

At some point, like the oil industry, there is going to come a time when that well dries up, and the company will move on in search of another profitable deposit. Environmental or economic impact be dammed.
