But you can't "fix" greed. Even punishing greed doesn't make people less greedy. That's a bit like thinking that the war on drugs will make people want drugs less, or even seek them out less. Constraining an inflexi

Public opinion should never be used as a weapon, least of all by journalists. That's not to say that it doesn't happen, or that the feeling of schadenfreude when it does isn't justfied, but what you are suggesting amounts to
