Sure they do, but people can and do get just as angry when companies ignore short term harm with the promise of long term gains. So the issue isn't short term vs. long term, but rather being right vs. wrong and honest vs. dishonest. It's really hard to always be right.

I mean, if you want "long term thinking", does that mean that WeWork is a better model than Boeing? Because people seem to hold it up as a failure of capitalism just as much.
