Why is it that when I make points or pose arguments that put major corporations, say for example McDonald's, in a bad light that people tend to automatically defend these entities?
Do people forget that these large corporations don't need any help making money or defending themselves?
Do people forget that most large corporations have more lawyers than the total combined population of the Dakotas?
Do people forget that these corporations are really engines created solely for the creation of profit, everything else be damned?
Do people forget that it is unprofitable for corporations to care about the anything that is easily replaced/silenced/covered up?
Do people forget that these corporations only listen to the whims of the consumer?
Do people forget that getting a large corporation to do what is socially/morally/ethically right will benefit society/the environment/migrant workers/the whales as a whole and still get you your damn burger fries and soda for $3.44?
Do people forget that advertising are a sales pitch and not advice or truth or reality or anything else other than a sales pitch?
Do people forget that the free market is possibly the greatest business machine ever in human history and works tremendously well as long as everybody plays by the same rules?
Do people forget that the corporation's job is to make money and the people's job is to enjoy sharing in the profits but keep the corporation in check?
Do people forget that waking up to a better world tomorrow is not a bad thing?
Why do people forget....?
