That wasn't "self-interest". It was suicide. Looks like all those cops and firemen will have to sell their condos in Cabo.

Well, we Objectivists like the phrase "rational self-interest."

Perhaps this article's topic could be deemed "irrational self-interest!"

Also my thoughts.

If I understand the article correctly then it is less self-interest but instead more stereotypical selfishness which doesn't care what it hurts in order to gain short/long term profit.
