Gunsngold, Recognizing that material, location, labor cost, shipping, marketing (4 P's), etc. make the major selling cost of products. Naturally, competition added to the equation along with the amount of profit for the stock holders to be made.
My question: When does profit percent for the corporations and stockholders become greed when the needs of the economic disadvantaged do not have the resources to sustain life. It appears that during my wife and my traveling that there are more homeless individuals on the street.
St. Louis, per percentage of crimes committed per 100,000 exceeds Chicago from what I have heard. I just travel on the metro link in St. Louis where to individuals were trying to sell "handheld shaving kits," and another was trying to sell his body to passengers. This could be due to mental difficulties, or just sustaining a persons lifehood, or homeless-I do not know? What I do know the individuals, IMO, will do what is necessary to sustain the life of their family. Therefore, are we many stockholders taking advantaged of the lessor economic disadvantaged or we will to give up some of our profits for the economic disadvantaged. That is why I pose the question, "who is our neighbor?" Are we to love our neighbor as ourself? Is, should, our morale responsibility, our focus be, on making excessive profit at the expense the economic disadvantaged?
Please advise?
I have just accumulated the data of the City where I live. The majority of the crimes were committed in the affluent areas of the community. When I inquired about the situation I was told that individuals committing crimes go to where the money is at to commit the crimes, not at the economic disadvantage areas of the City.
This data was a surprise to many of the leaders of our City. |
