  I have always wondered why companies seem to think so short-term. It's
like they are thinking: "Who cares what happens to the world 50 years from
now? It's not like our company will even exist that long." Eh... Many
companies, especially the successful ones, *do* exist decades, even
centuries. Such short-term planning seems counterintuitive to the goal of
a company succeeding big. Big success = company is prosperous for decades.
Short-term planning = company dies when the world dies.
