| The companies are in various ways run by people. Unfortunately, it has become accepted that raw greed
is a great ideology for running a business.
Which in turn attracts people who are driven by greed. These days we have a lot of people leading companies making
bullshit flowery descriptions of their company and how to
run things. but sadly for the most part this is stripped
away when reality sets in. Especially if the company is beholdent to investors
or shareholders or similar hands behind the scenes who
have their own agendas. A lot of horrible and inhuman things companies do are explicitly
legal. More so in some countries than in others. As long as we worship greed, things cannot improve. The Oxford definition of greed: "intense and selfish desire for something, especially wealth, power, or food" Greed by its nature is depriving others of something.
If there is an endless supply of food lets say.
Post scarcity, anyone can eat as much as they want,
a person eating a lot of not displaying selfishness. .
It may be gluttony, but the person is only harming itself. If there is scarcity of food, and a person is hoarding it
for itself is greed and it means others go hungry. That is not a hypothetical. It is the way our society works right now.
Some people, cities, states, nations, have far more than they
could ever eat, while others in different places are starving to death.
Even within the US, a place with a supreme abundance of food,
peole are going hungry |
