text: Consider Immelt's non-sequitur: "I'm a businessman. That's all I care about, is jobs." Since when is creating jobs all that businessmen care about? Don't get me wrong, I know a lot of businessmen. Most love giving people productive jobs to do. But if all businessmen cared about was creating jobs, most of them would go out of business. Good businessmen care about creating and satisfying customers, and in the case of publicly held corporations like GE they care about increasing shareholder value. Or, at least, that is what they are supposed to care about.
