I mean... those profits come from breaking the law. So I guess yes, technically you're right.

EDIT: I don't understand, how can anyone be against this? Doesn't every good person wish that all people and companies would behave according to the law? Did you vote for Trump?

You need to understand that a high (but not majority by any stretch) percentage of Americans will always take the side of a corporation over consumers no matter what.

It’s a weird and uniquely American thing.

One of the stranger things I’ve found after moving here from Australia (which has a very strong pro-consumer government agency called the ACCC which is non-partisan).

I had some intuition for that, but I imagined this was mostly the "muh freedoms" type of people.
