Amazon.com, Inc. has a list of I believe 12 or 13 core tenets that they refer to as "Leadership Principles". These tenets are supposed to permeate company culture and impact every decision made. Their hiring process vets candidates based on these tenets. One of the central tenets is Frugality. Amazon.com, Inc. is a company with a $2T market cap. It is the 5th largest company in the world by market cap. Are you, Mr. Los Angeles Times, saying that Big Business is wrong?
I love the irony of a company who's most well known service is an ecommerce site that tries to manipulate people into impulse buying and overconsuming having "frugality" as one of it's leadership principles. It's up there with the Bezos Post using "Democracy dies in darkness" as a slogan or Google using "don't be evil" as their motto.
