I’m a bit confused about this one. I thought ethical companies might have higher costs, but I can't recall if that was a factor in their overall success.

I'm torn between options A and B. I feel like both inspection and materials engineering folks would have to engage with RP 580, but I think maintenance might be more relevant.

I'm going with Option A. Ethical companies have a strong moral compass to guide them through the storm. Plus, they can probably write off their halo polish as a business expense.
