I still fully blame them. There're plenty of corporations that make an effort to embed themselves in their communities as stakeholders and engage the public. It's entirely possible to run a successful business without fucking over your workers, your customers, or your community.

I think we give way too much of a free pass to the actual people making the actual decisions to fuck people over. I think if we started yelling at them and ostracizing them more instead of just shrugging and saying it's the nature of the game, there'd be a lot less misbehavior going around.

Sure, I have no issue with thinking that the people in charge of companies are assholes. I don't have much nice stuff to say about pretty much any CEO of big tech companies (and most other companies either). From a social level it's totally fine to dislike them. I also think it's fine to yell at them or ostracize them. I'm not going to stop you if you treat Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos or Rupert Murdoch badly on Twitter or something.

I'm just saying that we kind of have to expect this stuff. If there is a loophole, I think we have to assume that someone eventually finding it and exploit it. I'm not saying that every corporation is always going to do it, just that some definitely will. It's up to lawmakers and voters to ensure that the loopholes are closed.
