Maybe no law can force something, but it often serves as a pretty strong disincentive to doing bad stuff."I agree, though I think it's best not to expect good intentions to necessarily have good results. Changing the fiduciary law to include a patriotic element ("all constituencies", in new-speak) would at least be a symbolic step, one which would change expectations. Random thoughts: Other countries are not the USA; those based on national unity will readily unite for a common purpose, while those featuring multiple cultures tend to end up with various groups competing against each other regardless of damage to the nation, because nobody identifies with the nation. To get a business to work for something beyond the bottom line, you need people who identify with the whole country and not only "my people". e.g., China, which is totally controlled and almost totally populated by the Han vs Yugoslavia. One has lasted 5000+ years, the other blew up in less than 50. Eisenhower tried to move us toward national unity. Later people and forces, the opposite. |
