| Which part of the OP deals with megacorps? I don't like megacorps either but I don't see which part of the OP you disagree with. >Isn't it hypocritical to ask for money from common man to fix problems that they created in the first place (like pollution)? No. I think a better word is "unseemly". I don't think it's hypocritical for a company or person to use carbon and then buy carbon offsets or donate to the rain forest or something. Even if it were hypocritical I would still rather have a polluting corporation that fought pollution than a polluting corporation that didn't. >if they really cared that much, why can't they donate a dollar (or whatever amount) from their profit every time I shop there? Many of them do just that. I don't think corporate giving is the solution to society's problems but it is a real thing that happens and can make a difference for some people. Corporations of course do things for marketing and PR reasons. If one of you things is to encourage you to donate or to donate themselves then I don't see the problem (although I am annoyed having to press a bunch of buttons to pay). |
