I'll agree that it's not very intelligent thinking for the long term,
but that's the way most businesses reason these days.  They think only
about the next fiscal quarter, and never beyond.

Actually it is.  It takes more intelligence to see and evaluate
long-term consequences than it does to deal with immediate, short-term
consequences.  And intelligence is in short supply in today's corporate
world.
