Is this the same John Mackey that fired his own father from the board and criticises yonuger generations for trying to find meaningful work? I think OP has a point, it's very difficult to accumulate vast wealth without behaving ruthlessly and being kind of an asshole when it comes to making tough profit-vs-people decisions.
