This was my thinking... Ellison spend the early part of Oracle's career overselling, then locking people into a product which they were now stuck with using. It also had the double impact of pricing out honest competitors.
One of the BIGGEST things we need to do is STOP punishing honest companies and politicians.
In the 2008 financial crisis we BAILED OUT banks who basically gambled.
Banks who were honest didn't benefit by being honest. They should have been able to buy up the entire industry at a penny.
The political system has the same issue now. Trump lies and the GOP continues to support him. Honest politicians lose because people want to be told what they already "know" not hard truths.
Their position on coal is a good example.
