Everyone's looking out for their own interests. This is business. If we're all in it to be charitable, someone let me know quick so we can get our exempt status and stop paying taxes.

At the root of even the most friendly and warm relationships is a mutually beneficial relationship on the business front.

If the mutual benefit in business wears off, expect to see that relationship disappear. No one's going to drive their business in to the ground because they wanna be nice.

How could you expect anything else?
