CEO charged with seeking profit 2

In the course of an off-the-shelf rant about Wal-Mart, Z.P. Heller says this:

While Wal-Mart may be working to reduce their carbon footprint, it became clear that to Scott, reducing waste means making money, not fulfilling an environmental promise.

The mind boggles.

    Amazing"Scott's greedy intentions are out in the open." What? You mean all this time, he's been trying to improve his bottom line by reducing overhead while still selling lots of stuff? I'm shocked and chagrined. SHOCKED AND CHAGRINED!
    But seriously, isn't this what we've been trying to tell CEOs all along? Becoming more efficient will save you lots of money (and oh by the way, also save the planet)?

    For the financial types that crossover to GristI think the proper term (from Tanta at Calculated Risk) is shocked & stunned.
    Calculated Risk has been on the mortgage debacle since before it was widely known as a debacle.
