      Quick answer this one question.

      You are given a button that upon pressing kills 100,000 people. The button does nothing else.

      Do you press the button?

          Ahh, see you have a conscience. Sorry you’re not billionaire material.

          I would have accepted:

          “Yes, for the mere thrill of it”

          “Yes, they deserve it”

          “Yes”

          “No, that isn’t nearly enough”

          “Yes, it’s my right”

        Of course not. Why would I risk limiting our market share that way?

        I demonstrate synergy and the ability to run an agile ship by instead outsourcing development of an app charging 1,000,000,000 people $15 monthly for the privilege of pressing the button and posting that they weren’t it this month.

        Then I press it, because we must make sure our actions align with increasing shareholder value.
