Right. They are in charge of making money. They are not in charge of
getting capital just for having capital, and not in charge of getting
labor just for employing employees. They are suppose to work in the
best interests of the owners of the company.

Of course being human they don't always do exactly that. Some look
after themselves first. Some just don't do well. So a corporation has
a board of directors, who are suppose to supervise the CEO's. Again
the boards are human and don't always do a great job.

The same applies to elected officials. Some act in the best interests
of the country. Some act in the best interests of the voters. Some
act to get the most votes. Others act in ways to get the most campaign
contributions.

They're in charge of making money. That's what corporations
are all about. First making money for themselves, second
for making money for the shareholders.

If they could provide ROI after they fired every single
employee who works for them, they would do that in a heartbeat.
