ABSTRACT
Imagine now that we are all inside one titanic bus hurtling down a road that is headed for a fatal plunge into a deep ravine. What are our profit addicts doing? They are hustling up and down the aisle, selling us crash cushions and seat belts at exorbitant prices. They got an inside tip about the ravine plunge, so they were able to plan ahead for this sales opportunity. Talk about cornering the market: They monopolize the cushions and seat belts and by the time the bus plunges over the rail and into the ravine, they will have sold all their overpriced cushions and seat belts and will have made a killing, if you will excuse the expression.
