But realistically, CEOs have obligations to their shareholders.
And I doubt IBM's charter for profiting for shareholders has an exception for the despicable.
In addition, we've got ~20:20 historical hindsight.
I'm not so sure Hitler, though clearly a nut, was in the '30's & early '40's fully known for the depth & breadth of evil that we know today.
If you ever look at the ovens, and other Nazi extermination apparatus, you'll see familiar names, such as Diebold (the folks that are making our crooked new voting machines), etc.
So this YouTube piece raises the question; why pick on IBM?
Perhaps a more sensible question might be, which companies didn't deal with the German government during those years. "Work is the curse of the drinking classes." Oscar Wilde |
