5. “Morality is just a suggestion – and we rarely take suggestions.”

6. “Putting the ‘question’ in questionable since 2021.”

7. “Unethical excellence – we set the bar low and then slither under it.”

8. “Where integrity takes a vacation, and profits take the lead.”

9. “Because playing by the rules is so last century.”
