"Corporations, especially at that scale, are at best amoral."
sorry, but this is just wrong.
Lots of people posting and reading this work for corporations.
Do bad actors exist? Sure. Are all corporations at scale amoral? You make them sound like machines programmed by megalomaniacs, not places created by, worked at and invested in by ordinary people. Every 'corporation' I have ever worked at has been filled with people trying to do a good job under whatever circumstances they find themselves in. Brushing off the majority of good that large companies do as an argument is not correct.

- a3n 11y agoI work for a corporation too. Lots of good people there. I'm good people. I'm talking about hyper-corporations and billion dollar contracts. That many people, chasing that much money ... no one who's gotten to the point that they could with authority say "Nah, we shouldn't do this, it's wrong," ever would say that. No one at that level of accomplishment and tenure has it in them to say "Oh, and are the fish in that river really safe?"
