I'm not sure why that requires cynacism. It is a business, after all. I would rather them do this than blunder along blindly with policies that might cause them to fail entirely, and adversely affect all those that rely on they far more than this did.



It IS cynicism, by definition. If we have come to expect cynicism from business as something usual, that's sad, but it is cynic nonetheless.

If they had been upfront about it from the beginning, it would still be a business decision, only less cynic.


FWIW, cynic is a noun.


Thanks. Cynical would be the right word, I see. English is not my primary language.
