Thanks for this post, I strongly agree with you. There are no such thing as "good" or "evil" companies, there are only amoral profit maximization engines balancing profit, and costs (including intangible costs like PR or staff unrest).

And they are very efficient.

I just want to say - the best (and the only) way to fix something is to regulate the companies. The slavery and child labor didn't stop because CEOs had a change of hearts, but because they were made illegal. Boycott is not enough, people should vote and lobby to make immoral things illegal.
