It is somewhat hypocritical to lobby for removal of the same protections that enabled your own success.
I don't think "hypocritical" is the right word to use, I think it's completely reasonable for a company to want to lock out its competitors (even unborn competitors) even if it means shutting the same door that company used to achieve success. It's up to elected lawmakers to uphold the interests of common citizens, and we all know how that goes.
- Lio 9y agoI think a good deal of the world’s troubles can be attributed to people saying “It's up to elected lawmakers to uphold the interests of common citizens”. Corporations solely relying on legislators is not a reasonable thing to do at all. I think acting immorally to turn a profit for your shareholders just because something is legal is, well,... immoral.
- jimjimjim 9y agothis is what is wrong with the world today. Thinking that if something isn't illegal there is nothing wrong with it. So if you managed to lobby and bribe politicians to make killing someone legal, it would be ok to kill people?
