      The bean counters move in and company focus shifts to money. It’s not new.

      My dad told me a story back in the 80’s about outfitter (camping equipment) stores. A few started selling clothes on the side. The profit margins were much higher on clothes. So that section kept getting bigger until it was a clothing store with a outfitter name. People stopped shopping there, and they’d go out of business.
