When I was young and naive, I watch a 60 minute's interview with the CEO of Phillips 66.
The intro shoot was of this big building with a giant American flag blowing in the wind.
The topic was the shutting down of oil fields and the loss of jobs, because productions was being sent to foreign countries.
I don't remember much of the interview except for one question and answer.
When the CEO was asked didn't, he think he owed loyalty to this country, his answer was his loyalty was to the corporation.
As much as I found the answer distasteful, he was honest and he was correct.
His position was to increase the profits of the corporation.
There are always conflicting issues.
One person wants to save the planet, one person wants cheap prices another wants to create jobs in this country.
Is there an answer where we can have it all?
Beats me.
