Capitalism, encapsulated
"People died because mistakes were made, and because safety was exchanged for efficiency and reduced cost."As an interesting side note, the quote above appears in the version of a Los Angeles Times article as it appears in the San Jose Mercury News. However, in the LA Times story itself, the quote is nowhere to be found.
- Raymond Seed, a professor of engineering at UC-Berkeley and the chief author of a report on the failure of the levees during Hurricane Katrina
"People before profits" is not just a slogan. It's an imperative.
