i agree with you that immoral means are immoral. it's sort of a tautology.
but let's not conflate things right now.
you're saying profit is not evil. ok.
in marxist theory profit is evil btw. it is considered the result of exploitation.
so where does profit come from?
just making sure where we stand. it's hard to have a bunch of conversations at once.

Marxism is dumb as fuck, useless, and completely discredited as an ideology that can run governments.
In the ideal world, the world that most businessmen would like you to believe they inhabit, a product or service is exchanged for whatevr the "market" (meaning the consumer) is willing to pay for it.
Profit comes from selling a product/service at a state of rarity. I can try to sell Mangoes on the street in Puerto Rico but no one will buy them as everyone has a dozen mango trees on their property. My only way to get any profit (meaning more money than I spent to sell the mangoes) is top take them (incurring more cost) to a location without mangoes. The rarer a product or service is the m ore profit can be gained from it.
The USA system is screwed because instead of putting profits back into the businesses, so that wages go up, employee satisfaction goes up, and the product/service becomes of a better quality, much of the PROFIT goes to stockholders. Stockholders are people and organizations/banks that have absolutely no input and say into HOW a product or service is sold or rendered, but who claim the most influence on the state of any business.
The entirety of the USA business and finance system is a giant pyramid scheme, propped up by the federal Reserve.
