Do they care about the children or their reputation?

The Financial Times released an 8 episode podcast titled Hot Money on who controls the industry. The podcast isn't appropriate for everyone, but is a great listen.

I think they were being sarcastic. At least I’d hope so. Not sure any company that large actually cares

"For the children," is often an excuse by organizations to do nefarious things, like the still ongoing and massively destructive drug war.

Pretty sure he was being sarcastic. Nobody uses the phrase "the children" unironically in current year.
