The core argument is that capitalism pushes for this outcome, which your link actually confirms. I also find it a bit odd to claim that "x is a myth" and link to an opinion piece article as if it's a peer reviewed study.

It's a link to an article about a legal case where the courts specifically stated this was not the case. In the legal realm, that is the equivalent of a peer review. And absolutely, unfettered capitalism pushes towards this outcome. That doesn't make it a legal requirement.

Who said it was a legal requirement?

They need continuous profit. The CEO swears an oath to shareholders to prioritize profit quarter after quarter ad infinitum.

So root comment did.

Needs = laws?

They'll oust a CEO who doesn't fill that need. No legal action required.

Ah, I see you read the article. Now we're back at the start and you can continue to go in circles without me.

Huh? You claimed that "need" = "law" -- which is clearly nonsense.

That's where we are.
