Huh. It says, "losing the public’s faith." When did we ever trust them?
I can't argue with, "Reality: Trust is managed from the inside out — by running a good business." And the article does throw out there companies that tried. But the reality is 99% of the companies of the world are, by their nature, selfish entities, and will eventually degrade into doing untrustworthy things. It's the nature of the beast.
And those of us that deal with them, while potentially gaining some benefit, should treat them with suspicion. Any "faith" is misplaced.
