Rather, he liquidated an American icon for short term profits.

Need a business version of strongtowns, although I suppose that’s a mix of orgs supporting b corps and employee owned enterprises.

I envy engineers and construction workers who build structures that last for decades, or centuries even, some physical permanence. Perhaps there is such a model to build and protect businesses instead of boom, exit, bust, regret, repeat.

There are some 1000 year old companies in Japan.

Quality, value, longevity --- as opposed to maximum profit by any available means.
