At the same time:

If they behave nicely because it is profitable that's a win-win in my book.
In fact that is even better than said company being nice because the current CEO is nice :-)
- ilovecaching 8y agoAvoiding humanizing faceless corporations doesn't preclude holding companies accountable. We've known since the industrial revolution that companies left to market forces alone will turn society into a hell on earth in the search for greater profitability. That's why the government tries to step in with regulation to stop companies from abusing your data, making you work seven days a week, or pump garbage into the ocean. CEOs are also not kings. In a publicly traded company they are replaceable the moment they stop doing their job (to drive profit and growth for the board). Companies do not care about you beyond your dollars. It is a rare exception to find a company that isn't unequally distributing their wealthy even among their own employees, or has found success in the manipulation and floundering of rivals and government agencies.
