I build a factory to sell crap to some other area. ( state or nation) I pollute like crazy, because its cheaper and in my own self interest...People around start getting sick, houses turn blackish...I am making more money so who cares, its my self interest to do it...The People protest...I don't care as I am not selling them anything so as long as my self interest says sell cheap to my buyers who are not around here...I keep doing so....Damn kids are getting really sick, old people as well...can't even go outside...Workers say we need to do something or they will strike...to bad unemployment is high, so in my own self interest I just start firing those who speak up, and hire cheap labor to replace them...who cares more for me...and they ignore that I am killing the town, its in there own interest to get paid....while i am at it, its realy costly to transport all this toxic material to get processed...Screw it, the river is cheap and easy and serves my interest.....

Self interest for the public good....ok so really its self interest for my own good Screw the rest.
