- klyrs 7y agoNo, it's not off-topic. They drive prices down through ruthless profiteering, by treating the wellbeing of society and employees as zero-cost externalities. They wouldn't be able to offer the prices they do, without the rapacious business practices. And those prices directly contribute to wasteful consumerism.
