    People are shocked when the bad boyfriend (google) that people warned them about, do highly unethical things. That boyfriend only exists to use & abuse you, it has no other purpose anymore.

        This argument irks me as it merely exists to wash the crimes of companies as if they exist on a different plane of existence where morality doesn’t exist and people pretend corporates are not just a bunch of humans in a trench coat trying to commit the crime without doing the time.

          Companies are not people. Companies don’t share the moral with you. Crimes and moral are orthogonal at best.

            Companies are created by and comprised of people. It’s very clear that the concept of a company is meant to extract wealth by immoral means while shielding the owners from accountability and consequences that being a normal citizen cannot afford.

        That boyfriend was once sweet, caring, quirky, and innovative once. He tried many things and was better than his older two brothers, the hip one who charged too much and the lame one that your parents were forced to deal with.

        Somewhere along the way, he forgot his roots and became Jennifer Lopez.
