"Steak is bad for you!"

So executives from Citibank went to congress and made a public apology for fucking everyone. Seems like a nice sentiment, albeit pointless, not unlike when a murderer expresses remorse. "I'm glad you've finally realized it was wrong of you to stab my husband to death, but 'sorry' won't make love to me or take a dog for a walk."

If that's how you approach the recent apologies from Citibank or Toyota, you're being naïve. You're underestimating these fuckers. These people knew that they were selling people goods and services that were harming everyone, yet they kept their mouths shut in favor of massive wealth.

Do you really think they're saying "I'm sorry" now because they can't sleep at night? Bullshit. They have everything they could possibly want. Well, not quite. See, here's the thing about people that fucking greedy: they will always want more.

They're forcing up apologies so they can remain in their jobs and continue to acquire more and more. That's the only motive. Don't buy into their bullshit.
