Reading the last 3 posts (and their comments) in rapid suceesion, I think the problem here is that you've mentally conflated "profit" (or at least, "profit made by big companies") with "the spoils of greed and/or irresponsibility". They aren't the same thing... Though one can very easily turn into the other, and thus we certainly need better ways of stopping that from happening, and of detecting when it has happened, and putting things back the way the should be.
