    I do applaud your optimism. Wish I could have that same rosy view. Unfortunately company executives have shown time and again their true motives. You are of course correct that they are not robots; however, studies do show that they are disproportionately psychopathic compared to the general population, and the behavior of companies often reflects that quite visibly. Profits and the interests of stakeholders always take priority over basic human decency. It would definitely be refreshing if that is not the case here.

      You’re missing a fundamental part here. The company execs are not the ones deciding whether to delay a train with a cat on the roof.

      That’s the driver and conductor, who are paid hourly or salaried. The execs don’t even know there is a cat on the roof.
