#1 This negligence is due in large part to how short-sighted ~~corporations~~ investors can be.

From the BoD down to Pension Fund victims.

we do it all off the balance sheet

#5 This negligence is due in large part to how short-sighted corporations can be, Grantham said.
Blithering Ass. Two Words: Absentee Landlord. If the person in charge just collects rent from some far away place most don't care what happens as long as money keeps rolling in. Whether its a priest-bureaucrat of Old Kingdom Egypt, a apparatchik of the Soviet Politburo, or an MBA like Grantham it is all the same. Capitalism as bupkis to do with it, Moron.

#8 My senior paper in Poli Sci was on the ecological nightmare or the Soviet Union.

It all had to do with the accounting principles and the concept of a free good.

There was no motivation to conserve anything and the results were horrific.
