I think you are misunderstanding the purpose of this cheap PR move.

It is a PR move. I'm stating why they are making the PR move. Why even make the PR move if everything is fine? Why rock the boat if all is well?

  What? Corporations have always been spending time & money on PR. Are you asking what the purpose of PR is? I see no reason to assume altruistic motives are involved.

    No. I'm asking you what is the purpose of THIS PR move. Every PR move has a reason behind it. You suggested I misunderstood the purpose of it. What, in your opinion, is the purpose of this PR move?

      Your statement is wrong because there is no reason to believe or any evidence to support the following statement: > The point of this statement is to signal to the public, that the elite are ready to give them what they want and understand that the inequality is unsustainable. They are prepared to make concessions now and it's up to the public to take them. Corporations suddenly wanting to tackle inequality and make 'concessions to the public'? That's not a reason for this PR move, that's corporate fairytale. > I gave a reason for the PR move. I'm curious why you think my reason is wrong? You did not give any reason other than exactly what the architect of this PR move would expect a very gullible person to interpret this as.

        Are you suggesting I had the gullible interpretation? If not, what would a gullible person interpret this as? What action would you suggest is the appropriate one to this PR move?

        > > Are you suggesting I had the gullible interpretation? Yes. > What action would you suggest is the appropriate one to this PR move? When these corporations put their money where their mouth is, we can start to seriously consider such statements. Until then, laughter and derision are appropriate.
