I think one of the main reasons you see companies looking towards the now instead of later is that the people in power have little incentive to make a company that will last after they’re done. If you’re a CEO and you have an opportunity to make a billion dollars this year, but you know the company will then lose money the next five years, what do you do? You choose to make money this year, leave the company, and then state the reason why the company’s failing is because you’re not there! You can then get hired at another company to do the same exact thing.
