What is the purpose of a business though? To make profits for its owners. If the profit lies in doing all this corporate theater then that's the business. A company that focuses only on providing a service and product but ignores how their customer needs to use said service and product is going to go out of business.
If the purpose of every business were making profits every business would be a hedge fund (at which point there could be no hedge funds, but that's a separate issue). Profits are a necessary component of a businesses's activities, but not its purpose.
That is "a" purpose of a business, but not the primary purpose. The primary purpose of business is to provide a service or product people want. You can want profits all day long but if you don't have something people want you don't have a business.
I would argue that profits are a result of what you do and not the purpose...
Obviously intertwined but that's why its important to pick something you like

There's 2 axes on the political spectrum. Economic and Social axes. Liberal and Conservative is one dimension (Economic) and Authoritarian and Libertarian is another dimension (Social).
In the US both the Democratic Party (Liberal) and Republican Party (Conservatives) are considered Authoritarian on this 2 dimensional graph.
Milei claims to be a Conservative Libertarian so, in theory, he should be opposed to this. We'll see what he actually does.
