My post is more related to those who say they have no responsibility to populations they serve when making business decisions. That's a business, not a profession. Those affiliated with a profession have committed to a set of values, behaviors, and standards.

Sadly - most professions have become businesses first in my experience. Law, mds, therapists, etc. It is bemoaned a lot in some legal/academic circles in which I participate.
