Or you could just work hard and put your kids through college by making an honest living producing an honest product. Greed is what is destroying our world, and it is also the obvious one-word explanation for what happened to Talenti.
I don't think you are aware, probably because no one wants to hear it, how unbelievably greedy the people you sell stuff to are.
If you think corporations are ultimate incarnation of pure greed, and consumers are clear minded rational actors bringing an honest offer to the table...well, start a business and see
If that's really how you feel about your customers, it may be time to get out of whatever business you're in. To get back to the point, Talenti's loss of quality is in no way related to consumer greed.
The problem that companies like Talenti run into is: a guy starts the company because he loves making ice cream; foodies get into it and make it really popular; once it's popular the average customer is someone who can't tell good ice cream from bad.
And so the founder has a very valuable asset (a brand that is popular) but has also lost the thing he loved about the job (making a specialty product for discerning customers).
There is nothing unreasonable or greedy about exiting at that point. Let someone who wants to run a mature food business do so, and enjoy a well-deserved payout after years of hard work. All the discerning customers who care deeply about quality move on to the next thing, and normies who just like the brand name won't mind the changes.
