Thank god Microsoft and Google are on the case! I was thinking next, we should have Exxon Mobile study the effects of oil on the environment.
It already did. In 1977 Exxon studied just that, and concluded that it will destroy the planet.
But Exxon kept on drilling because of greed, demonstrating that its leaders care more about making money than killing people.

Drilling oil no reason other than to give people jobs seems more virtuous than greedy, no?
Are you under the impression that Exxon was formed and is run by a bunch of people thinking, "How can we employ lots and lots of people?" And not by people thinking, "How can we make money?"
no?
No.
Here we learn that greed means a desire to give other people jobs. The things one learns.
But since nobody else wants oil because of that whole killing people thing, clearly it's not greed.
Got it. I figured that's what was actually happening. It was strange that the original comment thought that Exxon was greedily drilling oil and sticking it in tanks to sit forevermore.
