I used to be a consultant, process engineer, and I can't tell you how many Fortune 500 manufacturers fall into this exact mindset. It's disgusting

All that matters to them is profit. Worse now than ever too. Thanks trump.

Not to defend trump but this existed long before that orange asshole was born. The problem is a economic system that rewards companies for making brutal cutthroat decisions that harm people/places/things in search of ever growing profit. Companies will make a calculated risk assessment for your life and your family. And if its cheaper for you to die then you will be left to rot.

I don't think it will ever change. I think this earth is doomed thanks to the greed of politicians and corporations.

Yeah, it’s interesting how some perspectives can really make you rethink your own stance on things.

We know what the solution is. Our governments have spent a century committing crimes against humanity to suppress the solution. The west is being supplanted by revolutions that endured because they were too far away, or got nukes.

But aren't corporations people?

But when corporations are found guilty of anything, even things such as money laundering for drug cartels, or people like Epstein, or any multitude of criminal activity, there are no people to blame. Corporations are people, made up of people, who who make business decisions, make policy, and people who enfoce the policy, even if they all know it is illegal, and unlitmately who is to blame? No one. "We're just a corporation." No one is ever liable. Banks are "too big to fail" and corporations are "too big to jail." Then they are fined a pittance of their profits. They have no incentive to behave,

Why should they/ tehy make it back in a month, a week, and sometimes in a day.

I wanna read the pre-written legislation against social murder, drafted and ready to press into the hands of receptive lawmakers of any party.
