But when the externalities of those goals affect other people, they will become hated. Everyone has a different opinion of what 'better' means. Since giant companies are most able to execute their vision of better, they will get most of the hate from people who have a different opinion of better. Looks to me like its all just a battle for power: People with ideas but lacking implementation and execution, vs Companies with ideas, implementation, execution, AND momentum. Let's not forget all the different forms of government either...
