With misguided expectations so low, you give up any motivation to hold companies to a higher standard. In fact, companies usually prioritize earning above almost anything else, but there are exceptions. CostCo is one of them. They spent a long time paying their employees much, much higher than stockholders wanted them to. CVS is another, giving up tobacco sales at great cost to focus on health care. It's possible to be cynical about these or any other things, but it is clearly untrue that every corporation cares only about its own bottom line.
