Profits

@Death4

most profitable and most unethical one.

Unfortunately, it is very hard to run a profitable company in an ethical manner ( see notes ).

SGG founding motto is “survive at all costs” which was great for a dying studio, but carries over to a successful studio with some unfortunate side effects.

USAA auto insurance ( clicky, clicky )

When it comes to paying dividends to car insurance policyholders, one company dwarfs all others. USAA accounted for 62% of these dividends nationwide in 2014 and more than half of the total every year since 2009, according to A.M. Best.

“USAA is the biggest dividend payer for auto insurance, and there’s really only a handful of the significant players that pay them,” Colannino says

But then USAA tried banking in the 1980s which lead to a buyout in 2019 ( Banking is very gorram frakking messed up currently).
